A Spot I Could Stay In Forever

These spots you could stay in forever

Places small enough to hold a body together

Thick hair and loose limbs

Places where everything feels almost like nothing

 

Places small enough to hold a body together

Dark enough to blind any sense of being

Places where everything feels almost like nothing

Comfortable enough for dreaming

 

Dark enough to blind any sense of being

Quiet enough to forget

Comfortable enough for dreaming

Under the bed, in the closet, or submerged in wet

 

Quiet enough to forget

In your arms, or underneath your blanket

Under the bed, in the closet, or submerged in wet

Balanced and serene

 

In your arms, or underneath your blanket

Creating the illusion that the clock has stopped

Balanced and serene

Until you can’t stop getting older

 

Creating the illusion that the clock has stopped

No matter how much you want to stay in your spot forever

Until you can’t stop getting older

The number one rule of time is

 

No matter how much you want to stay in your spot forever

When time gives you the cold shoulder

The number one rule of time is

You cannot stay in this spot forever but

 

When time gives you the cold shoulder

They’ll tell you that

You cannot stay in this spot forever but

These are spots you could stay in forever
