your presence began to water down

like the ice cubes in a lukewarm drink

my life was the sticky sweet substance

and you were the frozen water tossed in

you began to melt slowly

because the hot day became unbearable for you

i could barely see you at some point

your continuation in my existence grew smaller everyday

until one day you were absolutely gone

dissolved into the liquid

making it bland

less enjoyable

and when in vain

i tried to separate you as the water

from the ruined drink

i just made a mess
