Moon in Taurus - Full Moon

I stand outside her door, hands itching and legs jumping. Every nerve and muscle in my body is actually jumping. Even one of my eyelids is twitching, along the right side of my lip. They do a dance of their own, a crazy tango that only gets me more on edge. I fish inside the satchel and pull out another bottle of Essens Lunaire. Just a sip, to help settle me. As I taste the sweet, rounded, almost vanilla-like flavours of the drug, I realise I've cooked it too long. Instead of getting myself a stash of mind-numbing, relaxing, soothing white poppy milk, I just downed a vial and a half of a very potent stimulant, that makes me feel like I've snorted an ounce of cocaine.

Not that I'd know, I've never done drugs.
