Poem when you feel you can't help someone struggling.
All I can do is watch you drown,
I'm on fire. //
All I do is stand as you fall,
Deeper and deeper
becoming the sea and the darkness,
Kick, lash, scream. Please,
tell me you know you're falling,
Why do you not kick to my light? //
Let me in your depths
Let me see in your darkness
Let me burn the way,
I'm on fire, //
I'd lay my arms down on the seabed
I'd tire my legs severing the water
I'd pour the breath of my lungs into yours.
If I could break the ice.
// All I can do is watch as you drown,
I'm on fire.
Any tips on how to improve it?
