irreparable damage repaired

I     am     strong

stronger than you ever gave me credit for

and he sees it

he sees all the things you didn’t

loves me in all the ways you couldn’t

supports me in all the ways you wouldn’t

never hides from me

never chides me

stands beside me

rides with me on the journey

while letting me be me and him be him

and it works

I don’t weep in the shower

sleep in a different bed

give up my power

or leave things unsaid

problems resolve through considered words

I am heard

I am valued     appreciated     adored

anger goes unstored

and I

am strong
