Normal Is a Casualty

Normal is a Casualty

    I accidentally wandered inside your heart.
    I didn't mean for you to watch me die.
    This burden would rob the blind
    and leave the weak for dead.

    Our bed's become a battle field,
    a no man's land between us.
    We finally reached an armistice,
    but all wars leave their wounded.

    Time has slowed to a crawl waiting
    for test results and next moves.
    Will we ever know normal again?
    The clock's always midnight and noon.
