I thirst for an elixir I have never yet tasted
That addictive honeyed wine
I hear them speak of in whispers and giggles
Boasting of their stolen sips
Like Champagne, they say, it bubbles inside
And they count their kisses
Like trinkets on a bracelet
I hunger for something unknown
To satisfy this aching inside me
This hollowness that leaves no room for bubbles
And tears slip down my cheeks, nose, lips,
I am crying for nothing
For I don't know what I may be missing
Or if I would miss it if it was taken away,
Only the emptiness of it never being there
To tell me I'm not alone.
