I Turned To You

When I couldn't breathe,
I turned to oxygen.
When I couldn't wake,
I turned to alarms.
When I couldn't sleep,
I turned to lullabies.
When I couldn't see,
I turned to lights.
When I couldn't feel,
I turned to pain.
When I couldn't hurt,
I turned to depression.
When I couldn't feel a thing,
I turned to you.

When I could finally feel again,

you turned to me.
