Elixir

Craved. Addicted. Obsessed.
Await the next time to sink into its scalding depths.
Sip it. Gulp it. Drain it down your gullet.
Each scrap supplying as much energy as a bullet.
Satisfaction. Only for an instant.
Dream of ways to prolong its existence.
May it be plain, or with all the sugar you've got.
Just don't let it be confused with what its not.
Not water. Not juice. Not soda, smoothie, or tea.
Nothing instills as much glee,
As a simple cup of coffee.
