I'm nothing
But a young beginner
And a proud believer.

I'm choking with
All of this shocking
Dumb illusions.

Of a future
Filled with surreal
Features.

Seeking the comfort
Of your voice
In the memory
Of the empty bottle.

I'm left with
My short knowledge of life
And my well known love
For someone else's lover.

An amateur in love
Too expert in heartbreak.
