Sobering: Fade (cover) - Freya Ridings


why do you make me shine?

Beneath this glass, molecules relocating
         by every twitch, touch
I ripple within, disturbed by what I can inhale,
ingest, take into my lungs.
         Something described from your lips
as love -- trust that I won’t drown.

In a bath for one, dark shrouds,
sunrise clouds. Does it go down?
Buoyant so long, I dare not dive.
Always felt you, and you, and a world
at my side, glowing
just bright enough to hide.

I confide, I waded in, heard pleas,
followed dreams of visages of you.
Faulty DNA or something got me
in a mess I cannot address

As the moon rises, gleams an eye,
one blue will always be dry.

Deeper in the glass, shine, sing
your warbled song so strong
ears could bleed. Thicken a bath
pooled red, where standing in dread
realize I was never drowning.

Might think I’m clowning. Never
more serious, knowing I can leave
this hollow pond, find dry wood
         and in grass, settle down.

Luna could vaporize a soul, I imagine.
Do we really have time for this now?
I’m out of my bath and sober.
Have longed to hear a beautiful voice
lonely as mine. Why do you make me shine?

Am I a romantic trapped in a clown’s makeup. Must be confusing. I know.
