I remember last spring when you took me aside
wanting to talk
There was dew on the grass getting on our shoes
as we walked across the yard
You had pain in your eyes
as you started to talk
"I'm gay" you whisper to me
As I look back now I shouldn't of reacted the way I should
I pushed you against the wall calling you a faggot and kicking your soul
I left you there to cry in your pity digested with your words
I now know how wrong I was treating you so badly
but I was stupid and you were friendless
Word got out and everyone hated you
I smirked behind my friend loving your pain
You had to remember that people hated faggots
what did you expect
You tried to kill yourself the piles swimming in your lungs
everyone loved it and savored the taste
But when I saw you in the hospital bed I know what a beast I was
Last spring I had a friend
who killed himself inside
