Strength

To the strong woman, I have always looked up to,
To the independent woman, who I aspired to be just like,
To the funny, honest woman who never once treated me like I was any less than who I had always been.

Through all the years where my heart and soul were blackened by demons,
The years of silence and darkness, where no one was in sight, but her.

To the person who I would choose to have as family,
To the woman who has meant the absolute world,
To the woman who without thought made me feel like myself again,
To the woman, I can never repay.

The woman that I cannot save from the demon she now has to fight,
I stand by her side, torch in hand, hoping to light the way.
