The Here And Now Poem by Lubna Hazeem

Where did all the sane people go?
I feel like a prisoner in this world
If only you'd promise me an escape
You would be worthy of my praise

But you're just like everyone else
Mesmerized by these futile spells
Breathing to catch hold of a breath
Wasn't my idea of sleeping in this bed

I can't believe it's all over now
The sun has landed on the ground
Another day has finally passed
Only to become a mere flashback

Why can't i let it go?
Why can't i let you know?

I just want to look into your eyes
I just want to see you when you smile
Because you're so beautiful, when you talk
And you know exactly what you're talking about

So why keep running away?
It's just so pointless, i say
I want to love you as much as i can
I want to love you as you are today
