You're the Antibody to My Toxin

There's only one antidote for this venom
It's locked away, so so far away
I can taste the essence of it carried in on the ocean breeze
But with all the wind of a hurricane, not even one drop
And one drop is never enough
So I'll let the wound fester as I work my way there
To the distant wilderness, from whence the mist arises
I'll drink it up
I'll never leave the source again.
But just in case, I'll fill canteens
For should I be called away once more
The breeze would be torture to my parched lips
My open sore
My polluted veins
Could not bear the burden of illusions
I would die from mere despair
Which is the poison coursing in deep blue paths.
