Like a child
Scrounging for cold lemonade
On a hot summer's day.
Searching
And scanning
For something specific
Something needed.

The sweet release
From the heat
Becomes a showpiece.
The fear of being insignificant,
Wanting nothing more
Than their cup filled with the refreshment.

And you filled me
To the brink
with joy
Until
I forgot how the word sorrow
formed on my lips
And how
Despair tasted on my tongue.
You made me feel
As if I wasn't alone
In this mess
And insanity
That we call a world.
