HEAR ME WHEN
Come and get me
I want her to say
But then I would be
The rescuer
And we have agreed
She doesn’t need rescuing
(Granted
That was before she was drowning)

Oh, I enjoy this!
It's like a new take on the damsel in distress poem! For the new, empowered, patriarchy-bad, era...
Have you ever read, "Not Waving, But Drowning," by Stevie Smith?
The sharp wit and commentary on social issues reminds me of Dorothy Parker at her sharpest.
Nice!

But.... you can reach out a hand, and she still gets to decide whether to take it.

Reaching out a hand does nothing when she’s that far out and has poked holes in the bottom of my boat

Then all I can offer is a virtual hug. I'm sorry for this heartbreak. It's hard to watch someone drown in their own ocean.
