moment of choice

She calls crying feeling the pain of the betrayel.
How does she fix it or make it go away.
Lives life in quiet denial.
Who would believe what she had to say?

I answer the phone and listen with determined freindship.
Shocked at the action that has spawned this conversation.
The reality of the moment snaps my soul like a whip.
I listen as her soul shatters with fear and desperation.

What can I do or what can I say?
Can I really make it better with a word or a smile?
If I were to go comfort her in person could I really stay?
Or leave to go seek justice using a very old style.

She tells me of the pain as the tears streak her face.
I fill with rage and wonder if I can keep control.
I have emotions in me that I know I should replace.
Keeping my composure is my strongest goal.

I wonder how long it will take to fix this damged heart.
I guess you just can't fix it with kind words or tape.
So many things that can be done and no where to start.
How do you heal a victim of rape?
