REACH OUT

I reached out to shake your hand but you pushed it away
I asked you what was wrong but you had nothing to say

I reached out for a hug in a warm embrace but you pushed
me away and slapped my face

I reached out to help you to take away your hurt
But you just insulted me and treated me like dirt

I reached out with love to show you how much I care
but you looked right  through me as if I was not there

So I write this message to you just so you can see
when your hurt and in pain you can always reach out 
                  TO ME ....
