Imagine being trapped in a puddle,

The ice froze over the top a long time ago and no matter how hard you try, you cannot break it. 

Every time it thaws a little, the cold that follows sets the water harder than before. 

Swimming to the surface never gets easier,

You give up,

But never for long. You swim harder each time but the glass-like ceiling is never gone. 

The hand that once pulled you to safety does not seem to belong to the same person. 

They do not even dip their toe into your puddle any more, is it any wonder you bite at the verge like a piranha when they walk by?

This is how it feels to love someone who never really loved you,

And never will.
