What they didn't tell me though,
was about the other kind of drugs
The ones that come stumbling into your life

Lay your weathered bones down beside mine
over under around alongside mine.
Trace your name across my collarbone
in whispered kisses.
Darling, tell me,
*'I am yours'

and she crawled inside and kissed every planet
