Coma

want to lie here forever
in this place where you never leave
hidden here for so long
fate made you breathe
made me find you all over again

to wake is to hurt
unconscious is comfort
where i never have to let you go

forever is not long enough
i will hold you till time can no longer be measured
till we both forget that this isn't reality
till I no longer have to wake from sleep

drowning in this coma
water composed of you
won't fight the waves
won't hold my breath
just let go into you
so i never have to let you go again
