We were bound by our golden rings

Before God and friends and family

My heart was yours and yours was mine

Growing old together is what was in my mind

How was I to know we didn't share the same dream ?

Until the day you got sick and I didn't understand why

Until the day I discovered everything about us was a lie

Until the day the doctor said you had full blown Aids

On that day I discovered you were gay

You never said sorry though I shed many tears

How did I miss the signs these past several years ?

Cloaked in your secrets, deceit, and your lies

No remorse for the jeopardy you put on my life

I lived up to my vows and took care of you at home

Lived through the anger and fear until God called you home

I have tried to move through forgiveness even on this very day

But the memories of lies and hurt still never go away
