Struggle
From days before we met,
the struggle lied within us.
Giving it our all,
to fill the emptiness that consumed us.
Over time we lost focus of what it was that brought us together,
work family and pride that made us stubborn, not knowing the cost would last forever.
Not letting go of the struggle within from the past takes it toll,
leaving the both of us to deal with it once more alone.
It takes both of us to make the change from inside our hearts,
If not pointing fingers will shape our thoughts.
Promises were made to be broken but the efforts are there,
they're better than nothing if they get you somewhere.
Life is nothing but a fight a struggle to make ourselves better,
and when it involves your family the results last forever.
I love you more than I can say,
please believe in me as you once did and I you, day by day.
