Ghosts in Skin

Before I met you I was
Just a ghost covered in skin,
A shell of who I had been.

But when the light in your
Eyes glistened, it was like
I could finally breathe again.

The energy in everything
You did and said depleted
The numbing affect of white wine.

But that day has passed, and
Until next time, I must
Refrain from again calling you mine.
