to see you stumble, surrender, submerge
and to know that it was I who pushed you:
this is pain.
and as dark tears dance behind your eyes
and over your overwhelmed hands:
reaching back to me:
(to pull you up
or me down)
and to believe that you will fight currents
that strangle and sweep and suffocate:
this is certain.
and as a shallow sun sinks
and moon confesses far too much
never-confessed reliance:
and to pray that this time you will break the surface:

Wow, this poem is well written and very emotional, I'm not sure how others will read it but it speaks to me a lot. The last line and the punctuation in it are particularly interesting. I am sure that if your friend gets to read this s/he'll appreciate it very much. I know I would. Thanks for entering my contest.
