They met online
To him it was obvious she was hurting.
As she bgan to leave he insisted he call.
Eventually she agrees but only for a short while
As soon as he hears her voice his heart sinks
He realises she is in more pain than he thought
He can hear and feel it,
Both in tears, they talk.
As he listens he wonders how
one woman could put up with so much for so long.
 
 

He comforts her, calms her down,
even gets a laugh from her
such a sweet sound
The problems she faces he can do little about.
 
 

Tears fall as he wishes he was with her,
For now all he can do is be there to offer support,
andsomeone she can trust with anything.

The two talk late into the night.
Both growing weary and heavy headed.
They agree it is time to rest.
She promises he will see her the next night
He tells her he loves her in a soft voice.
She tells him the same sounding half asleep already.
 
 

He hangs up the phone,
Hangs his head in his hands
And weeps soflty hoping he wil see her again.
As he climbs into his bed he knows it will be alright.
For he can feel her holding him,
Her breath on his body.
