PASSING FOR NORMAL

I hope it stops..
sitting here again
a week ahead and another to follow
only here do they tell you not to bring weapons to the shore, only the shore
only here do you hear the news and not care, you leave the burden to them
only here do you sit and wait and you want to savor the city and you crave every moment in the sun not knowing why or how
only here and now i leave the sadness behind to embrace it another time
i think of laila's boxes and 4 white walls awaiting me
and i squeeze the child in me
and i am afraid once more
another start, another place
and i look at your direction
here we go again
you're sound asleep again
and i can't remember how i loved you
i can't remember how i loved this place
and what haunted me all these years
is now gone..
i saw it coming
once again...
