when they pulled out your body, you were almost unrecognizable.

soft, peach-colored skin i used to kiss had peeled off into a blueish-grey.

your body, bloated, from the time you spent under.

oh i wonder what you were thinking during your very last moments here.

the police tell me the water removed all traces of evidence.

i'm so sorry that the last time i saw you alive, i told you to leave.

and you did.
