Reach for Me

What am I doing here?

Where am I going?

I'm stuck in a damn whirlpool

swimming for all I'm worth

But I can't fight my way out of the current.

My arms are throbbing as I claw for the edge.

Water falls in my eyes, blurs my vision

as I look for someone

Anyone.

Something to save me

In the distance I see you

watching me drown

Rope in your hand

What will you do?

Just when I think I know you...

What is that face?

Looking through me without seeing me

You are the only one who can rescue me

With my last breath I reach for your hand

As I start to slip away our eyes meet

Water covers my head

leaving my outstretched hand alone above the waves

Please...

Reach for me.

Save me.

Not sure when you posted this. I've read it before. Thought I already left a review, but oh well. The picture of the hand outstretched above the water is a very vivid one. This leaves a strong impact. Great title. Good work!
