Shake up the bottle
Mix the ingredients
The elixir must be right
It needs to invigorate me
Get me through this night
As shadows creep in
And your memory haunts
I must be vigilant
And be ready for anything
You said you would haunt me
And it appears you were right
But tonight will be different
I will draw on my strength
To meet you head on
And face the demons
You brought to my life
You will no longer
Bring me fear from your grave
I drink down my liquid courage
And wait for your memory
To visit one last time
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – invigorate
