Change makes me anxious
a beautiful forest torn down
natural land covered with litter -
your romance ended -
There was beauty
and sharing there.
You have perspective
and strength
to change.

Even though there is
birth pains -
how brave of you
to be willing to hurt
for now.
Is there any way
I can soothe your pain
bandage your bleeding?
I am afraid that this
is a time you must suffer alone
Sue, you are lucky to be free now
instead of bound to a lifetime of unhappiness.
Now you have opened your world
and freed it
for joy -
You are lucky.
