Silent Listener

I pick up the phone and hear
a great wracking sob.

I silently listen
as she spills her sob story,
no longer giving advice she refuses to hear

Fear passes and anger sets in
"I'm done!"
"I'm though!"
"I cant stand it any longer"
she yells!

I silently pray
until two weeks latter
I hear her mournful cry.

My heart goes out to her
but I can no longer care.
