Un-relationship

 And here it is
I can choose not to be disturbed
even now
amid the mess and chaos
it doesn’t need to be resolved first.
What do I need?
To acknowledge I am
lovable just as I am.
This one situation
doesn’t diminish my capacity
to love and be loved
to be lovable.
This one situation
out of my control
says more about the pain and suffering
of another
than my abilities.

This un-relationship
is a drop in the ocean
amid many other relationships
that are fruitful
loving and kind.

Don’t let this one taint all the rest.
