Fortitude

- Dedicated to a person who is special to me more than she will ever understand. I will stay until it's done. I will stay until you are well. I will stay until you are back to who you used to be. That is a promise.

It breaks my heart to do it
It tears me down to see you cry
It cuts me to see the pain in your eyes
But we both know, it needs to be done

Here are the words you didn't want to hear
Here are all the things you tried not to feel
Here is the truth, no more lies
I know you've fallen but you shall rise

Here are the facts you tried to avoid
Here's the story that filled up your void
Here's a reality check, you know it isn't true
I know it's hell but I've been there too

It might take every single day
I might have to say things too hurtful to say
You'll despise me, you'll shut me out
But I will stay until it's done

P.S I will never give up on who I know you are. Even if you've forgotten or given up, I'll always be here to remind you. I will always have faith in you even when you no longer have faith in yourself.
