To live is to coexist

with your demons,

the biggest challenge that

has the strongest

people of all.

You are strong.

We are stronger,

together.

In the end I'm slowly dying,

This painful toxin stealing my strength

You hold my hand and say,

"You are not alone"

and I feel right.

In this nightmare I wait for you

For the love and courage you give me

I won't go until your hand is in mine

Together you make me strong

Together I make you brave

Would you just stay and hold me tight?
Because without you, I am a disastrous sight!
Would you please stay and not leave me alone in this dark night?
Because, for once, I would love to be with you on your flight!
Would you still be there even if you knew that I am gonna fail?
Because without you it would feel like I am in jail!
Would you care to be my quilt even in hail?
Because without you it would feel like only autumn in the vale!

I feel like I've been stretching the boundaries of our love
and this has left us wondering just how far we can shove
the real gift of life which brings so many people together
helping them get through the vicissitudes of the weather.

You must know the feeling as well and wonder about it too
because it doesn't seem to be anything we could say is new.
This relationship of ours is held together by a slender thread
though at times it resembles being nothing more than dead.
