Dear Depressed

I feel the agony of your anguish,  
The pulsing pain that now persists
I hear distant calls of your distress
And hear tell your tears of torment

Hold my hand and hear
The words I write
Modest but meaningful
Practical, not trite

Wake up! Wake up!
He shoved you out and slammed the door
Played you as a pastime 
You lost, get off the floor

Broken?
Bruised and banished
It was deceit not love
And now he’s vanished

Remodeling?
Not his house, his life 
Get the message?
Not his sister, but his wife

Depressed?
You listened to the lies
Forget the flashy fool
Time now for good-byes

Morning Sickness?
Advise to see a doctor
Could be something more
It might be two not one 
You need to float ashore

Restore!
Rise like spring from winter
Fresh seeds will sow your way
You are someone special
Remind yourself each day

	Agony Aunt

Appreciate the comment. This was in answer to an 'Aunt Agony' (like a Dear Ann columnist) letter from 'Depressed.'
