Exit Wound

In fitful dreams
I screamed your words
Remembered him inside of her
My lover gone
Dripped from my lips
Like liquid through me so elusive

I drank from your hands
I drank from your mouth
You poured into me
Until I was drowned
I had no breath
Was drunk on you
I would have given
It all to you
To you

In restless sleep
Vision of two
I screamed your words
With hope I too
Would become sacred
I too could fly
But my wings are wet
My mouth too dry
To kiss you goodbye
To kiss you goodbye
To kiss you goodbye

I drank from your hand
I drank from your mouth
You poured into me
Until I was drowned
I had no breath
Was drunk on you
I would have given
It all to you
To you
Oh, to you
To you
To you
To kiss you goodbye
