Dead in the Water

Seems I’m under water,
I’m sinking fast.  
Not too sure how long  
my breath will last.  
 
The waters murky,  
there’s weeds everywhere.  
You’re on the bank,  
I know I left you there.  
 
So if you see me,  
why aren’t you moving?  
Can’t you hear me,  
what are you doing?  
 
I’m sinking further now,  
and still you stand.  
I don’t need much,  
just give me your hand.  
 
But you’re not there,  
though it hasn’t been long.  
I hope you’re getting help,  
but I know I’m wrong.  
 
I feel like I’ll die here,  
and you just let it be.  
Now I can’t even remember,  
but didn’t you push me?  
 
I can’t see much now,  
it’s getting harder.  
Now I need to breathe,  
but in comes the water.  
 
It’s all too much,  
I choke and I spew.  
My lungs fill up,  
yet I still look for you.  
 
It looks like you’ve left me,  
all alone...  
I’m drowning now,  
I’ll never make it home.  
 
You didn’t lend a hand,  
didn’t even bother.  
Just left me there,  
dead in the water.
