H2Okay

Clear water droplet

cast into the pooling ink

that often escapes its well ---

 

Weigh on me like rain,

gathered on the overhang;

threatening to cave me in.

 

Your purity was

what could oppose and cleanse me,

or potentially end me.

 

While content to drown,

I sought to submerge myself

underneath your tidal pull,

 

and failed to remain.

But I'm glad as a cast-off,

because, for a time, you were

 

the only thing that could slake my thirst.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Not great but old loves are on my mind and I'm trying to get back into writing daily.
