Drunk on the wine of lust and romance
I yearn to bring you to life
My perfect prince
Riding in on waves of sleep
To meet me in my dreams

You cure me of these cold nights
And of the nightmares that accompany them
Warm my bedsheets with warm hands
And hot breath
Wet, sweet kisses on my lips...
Down my neck...

I'll build you from tear stains and blood drops
Sew you together with pieces of my tattered heart
Paint your hair black,
And your eyes the lightest blue,
Skies for me to drown in...

My god... I'm drowning.
I'm... I...
I see you...
Yes! I trace your outline with my fingers
As water fills my lung
I breathe you in and suffocate

I gasp for air
And wake up sweating
Panting and clinging to my blanket
I close my eyes
And curse my lungs for the air they breathe

I almost had you...
