Under the water
Clearly in trouble
Looking to you
As you joked
At my expense
Did you know
I could hear you
Did you know
I needed you
Did you know
I was the one
You refused to save
I was the one
You refused to jump in for
Refused to get wet for
And did you know
That I discovered
The difference
That you make
In my life
In that moment
You should know now
That the math
Still works out
It’s simple subtraction
Necessary subtraction
It’s just easier this way
I almost drown now
Much less and less
