Gingerjamesfair - The Strongest Woman in the Room

The psychosis lasted about four days
The doctors said it was a difficult phase that you'd go through
By the time you had been there for a week and a half
You'd made lots of friends with the hospital staff; that's what you do
And it's why I love you - the strongest woman in the room

The challenge ahead was hard and uncertain
Your pain was a strain and you were constantly hurting
But smiled when you could
I remember the day that you cut off some toes
Frustrated with waiting for necrosis to go, just wanting to get it over with

And the nurses at the hospital ward who couldn't believe
You'd scalpelled your own finger off while waiting
In a treatment room for a specialist, but you couldn't wait one minute more

Doctors tried to explain as if you didn't know
Who could know your pain better than yourself?
A slow fascination, took across your brain
A scientific experiment based upon yourself

And the number of times we took taxi rides
To see specialists that didn't seem so special
Yet a small few were heroes to you and saved your life

The fact remains things are not the same
You can't work in the lab because of the pain and this hurts too
So we change all our plans and start a new life
Reimagine our future as husband and wife
That's what we'll do, because I love you - the strongest woman in the room
