Strong Enough

I love her with my very soul,
From the deepest trenches of my heart,
And with the saddest parts of my eyes.
But is this love strong enough to
Overcome the apathetic heart?
Can it break down the obstinacy of
The strong-willed?
And do I want it to?
Would I be able to handle that joy?
Do I even deserve it?
Is my soul strong enough to uplift
Such a heavy heart?
And is my body strong enough to hold such a soul?
Is my love strong enough to withstand the flood of other affections?
Is this passion that burns an eternal flame
Or will its legacy be the flickering embers
That die slowly in the lonely night?
Am I strong enough to make her believe as I do?
Am I strong enough to see this through?
