Some Kind of Ode

My old friend:
When will you run dry?
You are so familiar,
Some days I forget your pain.
I write to you every night,
Words unconsciously composed
In my dreams.
If only I could give you one cold shoulder
And you would disappear.
It would be a mistake, of course.
Without you
I am not me.
