He hated water
Water was deceptive and cruel
It held the image of peaceful serenity
Yet was waiting to pull you under
Icy cold hands would beckon from the shallows
‘safety’ it would whisper in your ear
Only for you body to sink in if you got to close
The peaceful rush of water was merely a cover
A cover for the rushing current that dragged you along
Pulling, Pulling, Pulling, Release
Only to drag you under once again
Water was deceptive and cruel
Water is a thief
It held the image of the sun
It held the image of the moon
It held the image of the sky
It held the image of the stars
It held my reflection captive in its surface
And when you disappeared under the water
It stole you from my vision
Water is a thief
Water was cold
It turns it’s back on you
When you need it most
It did not come during the drought
It did not leave during the flood
It came and went in a flurry of movements
How frozen it’s heart was
Water was cold
Water was an enchantress
The lulling security it promised
The beauty in its calmness or beauty in it’s rush
All enchanted you deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
Until you couldn’t get out
You would sink so far no light could be seen
Only water was left
Water was an enchantress
He hated water
Tavern looked up. Water had come again, his crystalline complexion cold and detached as he watched me kneel before him. This time though I did not beg or plead, I had nothing left to beg or plead for. Water, the name of the king who abandoned his kingdom, he had stolen the crown, yet enchanted the masses to forget, he coldly watched as the land burned, my city burned, he was the one who lit the flames yet kept the people loyal... how deceptive and cruel he was. I had loved Water, he had loved me, but he took everything from me, I couldn't love him anymore.
I hated Water.
