My Own Strength

Do not cry, my heart
I am still beside you
Hold your remaining breath
Gather your broken dreams
We must walk again

No one hears this pain
No one knows my silence
Fire burns deep inside
Tears flow within my soul
Still, I must smile

Do not leave me, heart
I will stay beside you
Even if worlds depart
Even if bonds are broken
You remain my friend

She chose another journey
My life must not stop
Her memories may hurt
Yet they will make me
I must live for myself

Rise, my heart, rise
Wipe away those tears
Your path still awaits
Your life belongs to you
I will become my light
