i saw her today.
i thought she was going away,
but i suppose i was wrong again.

i saw the pain flash across her face.
i saw the tears fill her eyes and drip
down her cheeks.
i saw the poking and the probing,
the scratching and picking.

i saw the struggle twitch her lips and
make her hands shake.

i'm proud to say
   she took a deep breath and
remembered a promise to an old
   friend.

. . . i saw myself win this fight today.
and i'm so relieved.
