Romance, companionship,
Always a man by her side.
Safe in another’s arms,
His desires always satisfied.
*
She lost herself -
She'd gone astray,
Feeling her worth
By what he’d do and say.
*
A shift in her mind
Brought realization
That she was the cause
Of her own frustration.
*
What he said
No longer made her feel shattered.
What he did
Hardly even mattered.
*
She no longer turned to him
For all that she needed.
A garden of new independence
Had been seeded.
*
She still enjoyed being
With her loving man,
But now, she had become
Her own biggest fan.
