what does this poem mean? please help?

Can't you see? Don't you care

I want to die?

Don't you listen? Can't you hear

My silent cry?

Won't you turn? Can't you hold

Me to your heart?

Are you afraid of what might follow

Once you start?

Would you rather not believe

I'm in such pain

That all your sense and good advice

Must be in vain?

Would you rather tell yourself

I'll be OK,

And all this adolescent angst

Will go away?

Ah! Would I also swim across

This lake alone!

But if you cannot swim with me,

I know I'll drown.
