Don't Push Away

You turned away
to hide your fear,
and mumbled something
I could not hear.

I felt the pain
you tried to hide
the degrading shame
and comments, snide.

I reached you
you shoved me away.
I couldn't help but pout
and feel dismay.

Your troubled eyes
and furrowed brow
cannot disguise
your pain now.

Share your grief
in life- with me!
Let me help set
your troubled soul free.

Don't push away!
I know that you care!
we can triumph all
IF we BOTH dare!

(written April 9th, 1999, for my friend who was really
depressed, but wouldn't tell me why..)
