DROP
(2002© p L. Fiorentino)

There’s a darkness coming, my dreams are getting cold
Something’s dancing in the distance and it’s losing all control
I’m a melted drop of matter, a tear that never fell
When darkness comes to get me, you can find me in the well

Down in the well, we all are water
Can’t tell a son from a daughter
Am I kissing you or are you kissing me
It’s dark in here and I can’t see

There’s a darkness coming, slashing through the light
With a momentary nature and an unforgivable fight
How can you say you love me, when to love me is to drown
I’ve never see you near the water, beyond the crowds, the noise, the town

Solid things are liars, they trick me with their weight
They speak of all their permanence, They blink and breathe too late

So I’m going to be a drop of melted matter
A tear that never fell
If you want me ,Bring your emptiness, and join me in the well

I have been fresh air, I have been bad weather
I have been the thing that makes you hide and seek
I’ve been lifting your cries all the way to the moon
I’ve been the thing that makes you weak
So snap out of your stupor, till you learn to say please
I am the reason why you came
I’m the reason you have knees
The clouds were thick last evening
Today the skies are blue
I’ve been the thing that crawls inside and gives all this to you

So are you ready for the union, are you ready for the heat
Are you ready for the end of the game that makes your heart compete
I’m asking ‘cause you’d want me to
To believe you had a choice
I’ve been living I the breath of you
I’m the thing that makes your voice

So give it up, your sleep is done
Give it up, it’s the ringing f the bell
Give it up, you’ll never know what hi you
And I’m never going to tell

I’m always going to be a drop of melted matter
A tear that never fell, so if you want me, bring your emptiness and join me in the well
