How Brokeback Got Them Good
By Spidersting
A spark was lit one cold, dark night
Upon that mountain high
In a pup tent hidden from all sight
Male bonding they were to try
Ennis del Mar, the strong, silent type,
Took the blue-eyed Jack Twist you'll hear
Flipped him over, heard no gripe,
And went straight for the rear
Their love was passionate and rough
And hardly lubricated
Never stopping till they'd had enough
Their cravings satiated
The fire they had lit that night
Was to be no "one-shot thing"
As Ennis insisted without a fight
Though truth was sure to ring
Their love was one to last and last
And never, ever grow old
At first both tried to forget the past
Their desires would again unfold
Four years after they had parted
Jack mailed Ennis a letter
Feeling very broken-hearted
And wanting to feel better
He met his lost love once again
To buy the man a "beer"
It was hardly to the count of ten,
No matter what you hear,
Before their lips were interlocked
Hands entangled in hair
At this scene Ennis's wife had gawked
As both soon gasped for air
She turned away and said not a word
Though her heart was surely broken
Never saying what she'd seen and heard
Of their love she'd never spoken
Two decades passed, the romance did last
With several seasonal "fishing trips"
Years down the road, when they both were old
The truth finally came from Jack's lips
Years of things unsay-able and quite unsaid
Finally came out of the blue
But it was soon too late to escape their fate
Ennis took too long to get a damn clue
He suffered his guilt once Jack's blood was spilt
His lover a victim of an undisclosed beating
All the fears he had for years gave him a grim greeting
And so comes the phrase that's rung true for gays
And for straight and bi people as well
You can't ask lovers to mend their ways
And no true love will burn in hell
Sexual passion may go out of fashion, but must always be held above
Our individual moral beliefs, for this force of nature's called love
