I am Searching for the Love of Lore

I am searching for love. 
The famed remedy for everything. 
That which conquers everything. 
Which the heroes of lore laid down their weapons for. 
I am searching for it high and low, 
But alas!, I can't find it
Shakespeare has deceived me, 
With his ear soothing tales of love, 
About what it is and is not. 
Yet here I am in a desert
Digging the sands of time for that long forgotten love. 
My voice is shrill with unique mate calls, 
Yet I find nothing;
But long empty bottles
