You don't cry because you are weak, you cry because you have been strong too long |
The utter cruelty present in every brutal mark across your back The sob I hear you trying to catch when you are in pain Why are you holding back? Why do you always have to be strong? For once could you let me take care of you? Hold you in your pain and let me nurture you For you have been strong too long hiding behind this heroic facade For once just let go and let out the grief that has been tearing apart your heavy heart You don't have to pretend in front of me dear because I would never judge you Every jagged scar and line, every deep wound and uneven stitch You see ugliness and unworthiness I see a beautiful survivor and your tale of courage Every scar tells a expressive story, that makes you, radiantly you You went into a cruel battle and fought your way back You rised from the despicable clutches of evil and survived to tell the tale You look at me with pleading eyes to stay with you When I should be looking at you that way You are in everyway my equal and even more How could I ever leave someone with such beauty and grace Someone with such a fighter spirit Someone who I love with my entire heart So dear give me your grief for you have been strong so painstakingly long |
