I only wanted to dip my toe
in the waters of temptation
but little did I know
it would consume me without hesitation.
And soon I started swimming
I found it quite exciting
not a moment did I waver,
the water was so enticing.
I stayed there for a while,
unaware of the minutes as they passed,
all I knew at the time
was that I wanted that feeling to last.
I started to get more comfortable
and swam further from the shore
the water was much deeper there
but still, I wanted more.
Soon waves were crashing over me,
I could feel that I was sinking under
unable now to catch my breath
and my mind began to wonder,
How long have I been here?
The minutes I started counting.
And how is it that dipping my toe
Turned into full fledged drowning?
