Needles

Fear can turn to anger
I’ve seen this many times
I know you only long to be free
For your former life, you pine

I’m so sorry that I did this to you
I know it caused you pain
Emotionally and physically
And the trauma will remain

It hurt me too, to go against your will
The first time it shocked me, it haunts me still
“I promise you it’s for the best”, in time we might see
You are steadfast like a tree

So after the storm, does the experience feel the same?
When the calm has returned and you can smile again?
I hope you can see it through a different lens
As you begin to heal and mend

Capacity was lost when you struggled the most
I know it’s unfair, it was hell
But remember this, precious neighbour
You’ll have a story full of hope and better days, to tell

You are amazing.
