Find Me My Elixir

Hello there.
Yes I speak to you
Would you be kind enough, to
Find me my elixir

A confusion lingers in my being
What to do
How to be
What to think
How to see

I stand before you
In all my innocence
In all my longing
Would you,
Find me my elixir

Its been a while
I am staring at the counter
The potions look enticing
Some bobble with so much froth
Some so crystal clear
Others with colors I know of not

I turn my eyes away
I look at yours
They twinkle with wisdom
And, I ask you, to
Find me my elixir

I see your play
You know how they taste
Ghastly bitter
To the sweetest ale
You stand there grinning
As I beg you, to
Find me my elixir

You leave me on my own
To make my choice
To come forward
To pick the one
You watch me struggle, to
Find me my elixir

Slowly enough
My time is flowing by
I will stand here
Embrace my indecision
For, I know
There’s nothing more you want than, to
Find me my elixir
