she held back her tears
as she told me the reason
she just could not hold me tonight
"i'm in need of a doctor
who does not ask questions
can you tell me a place to go?
and my body is trembling
from a night past remembering
and i don't want the family to know
"why does it happen it's my cross to bear?
i hear thru your silence -- you weren't even there
but i do need some help some how
"i know it's not unusual
it happens all the time
but it's so devastating
when the choice is mine..."
she refused to cry
as she ended the call
"i will find a way
to overcome it all..."
and never spoke of this again.
