I think back to that day
The day everyone thinks they understand
When we were safe together
alone
We melded together perfectly
comfortably
And just like that instant
that moment of perfect harmony
I watched as you slipped from my fingers
The world darkened
and I crumbled
I laid the same way we did
But this time I felt no warmth
I felt cold sharp air against me
And just like I thought I knew you
Everyone thinks they know us
But they don't
All of that warmth and symmetry
was  the only thing i had left
And when you left me there alone
I knew it was all a lie
But was it your lie
or was this all a figure of my imagination
that I started
with my own lethal lie

The thought consumes my mind
America would rather remain voiceless
Than fight for humans who have their rights stolen
It all roots from a fear, and ignorance
Of what people don’t know, understand
When the hate gets so strong, some would rather die
Than be who they are
A law is one thing, it can be changed
But it wont change us, we have to change us
There is no difference between my brother and his wife and my sister and her wife
Why does it matter to you, who I am
We are who we are, we are the same
The difference between you and me is you judge me because of what you don’t understand
