Shivering
Shivering in the Sun,
chills from unbearable heat;
Back home on the couch again;
The high is wearing off;
I might be feeling now,
gotta take this shirt off;
It’s stained with all my thoughts,
like sweat you can’t wipe off;
Shaking all over,
shallow breathing again;
Why are you rocking me so hard?
Why linger in my head?
The shakes intensify,
as the fever begins to spread;
I dive through a sheet of ice;
I wake up;
What’s that look in your eyes?
You smile and say,
‘It’s confusion crossed with moonlight.’
