Clarity
She sat, fingers nervously drumming
Make the call, chimed her brain,
Forever? Am I ready to commit
To forever? But if not, another
Year lost, another year of chaos,
Pain, and tension in the home.
What can you loose?
She places receiver in hand,
Punching numbers in between tears.

I'm glad that those phone lines are available for AA and Al-Anon. The voices of desperation are answered with compassion.
