Alchemy

You keep me in a bottle 
I watch you as you pass
Waiting to he used again
I lean upon the glass

Addicted to your alchemy 
I turn from green to gold 
You warm me to sublimination 
You freeze me still and cold

I want to breathe your ether
Your toxins i don't need 
Cannot move my eyes from you
A book I should not read

I swim within your mercury
Sweet poison in my veins
And you will leave, evaporate
My love in leaden chains

This Limerance just chemistry 
You'll never know my heart
So I'll stay in Sulphur mists 
And we will remain  apart
