An empty glasss

Love is a strange
surprisingly strong
     brew
and I wanna sip it
sip it with you

slowly at first to slake
     our thirst
then with speed
when we realize our need

I need to try it once again
because it draws me
draws me in
      with a gulp of the juice
      I call Love Ambrosia
you think you can take it in moderation
but then it throws ya
throws ya out
flat on your ass
until you're left
with nothing
but an empty glass
