Once

It's been a long journey,
Loading from harbour to harbour,
Fetching the weights,
It never ends,
And I never seem to go home,
I've got used to doing it by myself,
In shallow waters,
Maybe that's what we look for,
A home in someone,
The warmth in real people,
Someone we could trust,
And they won't fail us like every other time;

Just this once,
They'd see we're broken,
Shattered maybe,
But will stay this once,
Build again,
And wait it out,
Let home become,
Just this once....maybe?
