Elixir

And what you showed me left me stunned. Under the lights of the midnight metropolis, I was reborn.

Dark and sweet, the elixir of love is in your mouth. The more I drink, the more I remember all the things we've never done. I was a ghost until I touched you. Never swallowed mortal food until I tasted you, never understood the spoken word until I found your tongue. I've been a sleepwalker, sad somnambula, hands outstretched to strike the solid thing that could awaken me to life at last. I have only ever stood her under this streetlamp, against your body. I've missed you all my life.


Oh, oh.
