Swimming Through Sick Lullabies

I lay entranced,
Cradled within your arms.
Unable to move,
Unable to speak.

I gaze in wonder at your eyes.
How could anything be so beautiful?
Their green reflects my face,
Staring back into them, lacking expression.

I listen to your words,
So soft...so comforting.
I wish to listen to them forever,
Though they make no sense to my hungry ears.

You begin to sing a lullaby,
Or is it just your words slurring together?
It doesn't matter, they are beautiful.
You are beautiful.

The edges of my vision begin to fade,
Like they do before a dream.
But this dream is going to be special...
For this dream shall never end.

I can feel little droplets on my face,
Is it raining?
Well, that is alright,
For it is a warm rain.

And as I slowly drift away,
I can feel my hand lift up,
And caress your face...
Just one last time....

I feel as though I'm beginning to swim,
Swimming through nothingness,
Through your lullaby,
Through a feeling of peace.

I am aware of my lips moving,
Uttering one last word,
The one thing in this world I will miss...

.
And I begin swimming...
Swimming through Sick Lullabies...
