Mar 2016
and so we mourn again
another queer girl killed
at the red hands of men

a bullet meant for another
and a thousand hearts bleed

an old wound reopened
a pain that never fades

and so we dig a grave
another queer girl killed
time to bury our gays
scout stop writing poems about tv....
also just for anyone who may not know "bury your gays" it the trope for dead queer girls in media. so... that's what that last line is referencing...
