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.
