Nepenthe

Look how far you've come. Every step and every breath taken on purpose. But still, there is something missing. You pull your friends close, but they are not the spark to your fire. You see beauty in another, but she is not the well to your water. What then can fill this void? You already know the answer. You know all too well what would bridge the gap. You understand so clearly how out of reach it is. But on you march, without complaint. Hoping that eventually you might stumble upon a different answer to the same question.
