Fever

my dear

i will come by your side

when the dusk lays down

its heat upon your brow

what are you

afraid of love, the night

passes like all things

all things pass

oh, we were alchemist lead

we were in belief laid golden down upon the other side

we were laid golden, the water stood upon us shivering

oh, an instant

i will come

i will stay by your side

though our lives dissect us i will bring a cup of water

i will bathe your face all lined in sweat

i will hold the warmth of your hand

what should we be afraid of

while our fingers intersect?
