Reaching

You saw me drowning so you reached out your hand; but you keep it just far enough away that I\'m struggling to reach it. 

You watch as I struggle to reach out further and further, but I\'m sinking so quickly there\'s no way to reach you. 

Instead of leaning further towards me you just sit down on your knees and wait; arm still stretched. You  just watch and you wait. Almost calm. 

You\'ve always just watched and waited. It\'s like you enjoy watching me struggle and suffer. Yes, usually I can find the strength to pull myself to the surface and above it all but the one time I\'m just too weak, you still just sat there and watched. 

With blankness in your eyes and emptiness in your heart, you watched.
