I learned something from a friend today, she told me she had been raped. At first I didn't know what to say, I just sat in place and gaped. This Lady's man with a golden tongue, could think of nothing to say. I could blow it off when I was young, not caring in any way. I heard the words and was filled with hate, and rage towards my fellow man. My comforting words had come too late, inside of herself she ran. Though the last was just four years ago, still it makes my blood run cold. She didn't mean to tell me you know, but it put my world on hold. In youth I would have tracked and bound him, then dragged what was left to her. His last sound as consciousness grew dim, would barely be a whisper. Now I would rather hug and hold her, comforting her through the night. While the thought of it is sheer torture, still my friend is my delight. ©1999 DreamEvil ------------------ Shall I indulge in flights of fancy hampered by clipped wings?

Anyone is who lucky enough to have you for a friend is one of the most blessed in all the world, Dream. You are the most Selfless person I know. ------------------ ~onevoice~ "She looked at her life like lines, never-ending, constantly forming, reforming and bending." |

You truly are selfless. One Voice and leelew express it much better than I can, but I agree with them whole-heartedly. You inspire us all, and you are a very dear friend. |

At times victims blame themselves for the misfortune they suffer. Takes someone like a DreamEvil to persuade them they are not to blame. Wonderful poem, |

Wow Dream, Incredible. I also agree that you are selfless. ------------------ *Krista Knutson* "I will sail my vessel 'till the river runs dry, like a bird upon the wind, these waters are my sky..." Garth Brooks |

That is a wonderful topic.. It is a good thing that people have someone there for them during this horrible time.. Great piece DreamEvil.. Though the thought off taking out the person is wonderful the help that you give is always better.. Love, Lady "Sometimes at night the wolves are silent and only the moon howls."

What a horrible thing for someone to endure. I did not expect it to be about this. It kind of shocked me when I read the word rape. I feel for your friend. |

Felt the need to reply to this now. I've been both sides of the coin, the Dark is more appropriate for the guilty, the Light, for her. |
