Someone Else

When she

Hurts

Or has moments of 

Fear

Or is under 

Attack

Or judged by the

Ignorant

Kindling deep in my

Gut

Lights up like

Spreading fire

Once lit, must burn

Until complete.

This is not my

Fight to win.

No matter how much

I would like to

Fight.

I may be able to take

Some pain.

And pray for healing

On her behalf.

But I cannot change

This.

It is not mine to change.

She is 

Someone Else.

With her own beautiful

Way.

Please give me the

Strength 

To endure this

With grace

To offer the right 

amount of space

And remember our

Love.

She is My

Someone Else.
