I APPEAR MISSING

Calling all comas.
Prisoner on the loose.
Description: A spitting image of me,
except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out.

Shock me awake, tear me apart.
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown.
Prison of sleep.
Deeper down the rabbit hole never to be found – again.

Where are you hiding, my love?
Cast off like a stone.
Feelings, raw and exposed
when I'm out of control.

Pieces were stolen from me,
or dare I say, given away.
Watching the water give in as I go down the drain.
I appear missing now.

I go missing – no longer exist.
One day, I hope I'm someone you'd miss.

Shock me awake, tear me apart.
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown.
Deeper I sleep.
Further down the rabbit hole never to be found.
It's only falling in love because you hit the ground.

Dancing on wire, both ends are on fire.
Cut me loose.
Nowhere to run, no more room to pretend.
Wandering along the road in the summer night.

I go missing, no longer exist.
One day, I hope I'm someone you'd miss.

Shock me awake, tear me apart.
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown.
Deeper I sleep.
Further down the rabbit hole never to be found.

(Confide.)
With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view.
(Don't cry.)
I never loved anything until I loved you.
(Inside.)
I'm over the edge, what can I do?
(Sunshine.)
I haven't a thing as I had you.

I'm over the edge, what can I do?
(Sunshine.)
I've fallen through.
