I don't think you understood correctly.

At least not if you think this.

That should do the trick. Note that this does not, I repeat not, add
another voice. It merely uses simultaneous music in order to specify
the timing for the descrescendo event within the _same_ voice. _Don't_
write \\ and you don't get separate voices.
