it stings, but doesn’t ruin everything

blue water
i draw from a well
i expect to dry up
it keeps giving,
when i return
i turn within
& enough is there 
even a drop.

hello smile,
it’s been a while.
hello deep breath,
i thought you left me
along with sleep
and simple thoughts

can i have a conversation
about nothing 
about weather. 
tell me how you’re feeling.
stop worrying about me.
i don’t have words for these things.

in the morning,
i see the orange silence
the foggy highway
sleepy drivers
steam from coffee
empty stomach
in the morning, 
thoughts are simple
but i still remember
and it stings
but doesn’t ruin everything.
