Can't you see? Don't you care <br />I want to die? <br />Don't you listen? Can't you hear <br />My silent cry? <br />Won't you turn? Can't you hold <br />Me to your heart? <br />Are you afraid of what might follow <br />Once you start? <br /> <br />Would you rather not believe <br />I'm in such pain <br />That all your sense and good advice <br />Must be in vain? <br /> <br />Would you rather tell yourself <br />I'll be OK, <br />And all this adolescent angst <br />Will go away? <br /> <br />Ah! Would I also swim across <br />This lake alone! <br />But if you cannot swim with me, <br />I know I'll drown.<br /><br />Alii Cat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/do-yu-care/
