Foot half-dipped,
I was convinced
that you were a safe sea to swim
But not until
The undercurrent pulled my heel
"You'll be facing the kindest of all deaths," said the swallowing transparent teal
The liquid filled me
As if I'm its long lost home
Life happily slipped out of me, hushing my bones
After a year,
they found my body
and in stabbing disbelief, the people stared at me
Turns out
I drowned in a puddle
Not in a sea
Turns out
Instead of testing the waters,
the waters have tested me
