This Boy and Me
I loved a boy
His name was Free
He had eyes of fire
When he looked at me
We lived by the sea
This boy and me
Given to kindness
To all and me
But with a dark past
This boy, not me
Sometimes we talked
This boy and me
Sometimes he loved
This boy to me
We grew old together
This boy with me
He went above
This boy, not me
I went below
Not this boy, but me
I fought to see him
This boy named Free
I will always love you
Said this boy to me
"You sinner"
Said god
"You hypocrite"
Said me
For you loved your son so
But forbid for me
To love a man the same
As you did me
For I give my soul
To this boy named Free
A thousand fold
I would give it to Thee
So don’t condescend
Nor throw the stone
Lest the first sinner
Be better than me.
