The odds are stacked against us,

We are an ocean apart,

They say it is an impossible war,

A battle already lost.

I disagree.

My mind and heart are my shields,

The gleaming steel of endurance,

I have reconciled myself to the fall,

My plummet and descent into you.

They say I should give up the fight,

Accept the inevitable,

That I am a fool, a dreamer,

Doomed to fail.

I disagree.

We are stronger than this,

The wall of stone shall weather,

We shall recall the sword of truth.

For we have never lied.

They say that they are black promises,

That were exchanged a year ago,

Never meant to last,

Soon to fail.

I disagree.

They have already stood tall,

Survived the worst,

Are strong and waiting,

Older yet than they know.

I took an oath,

Swore to stay the same,

To remain and retain the essence of me,

I renew, rename and remember that here.

Their words are venom,

Seeking to stay,

The honesty on my lips,

The truth within me.

You are the only cure,

By plight, promise, soul deep troth,

We shall remain, deep true and pure.
