Our Friendship Will Last

Karyn Indursky

 

I'm sorry you endured pain,
but glad
you became stronger.
I'm sorry you cried,
but glad you smiled after.
I'm sorry you felt solitude,
but glad you found refuge.
I'm sorry you were quiet,
but allowed yourself to write.
I'm sorry you were abused,
but glad
after all these years
your internal being is
losing its bruise.
I'm sorry about your past,
but glad
our friendship will last.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this to Amy Riberdy after reading her poem, "Living In a Lavendar Haze."
