Thanks for leaving me with an empty feeling.

When the fire within me no longer ferments,

That's when I know I've given you everything.

Gently you visit me when I'm sleeping,

Only to remind me of your evanescence.

Thanks for leaving me with an empty feeling.

Softly you whisper to me in my thinking,

And manifest as lurid, living figments.

That's when I know I've given you everything.

You approach to drink from my vital spring,

And did not stop 'till the last drop was spent.

Thanks for leaving me with an empty feeling.

When my heart into the sun I did fling,

And revel in your laughter at my sinking sense,

That's when I know I've given you everything.

How fast to your vapor voice I cling!

And your fading voice, leave me your fragrance!

Thanks for leaving me with an empty feeling,

That's when I know I've given you everything.
