    Cracked Window

    A broken day 
    no way 
    to have a say 
    or make my stand 

    I’m at your door 
    a crumpled whore 
    pour myself in your hands 

    Sunlight rides the breeze 
    like the first day of spring 
    You assemble me 
    piece by piece 

    This tryst 
    proof I exist 
    certified with one kiss 

    You send the clouds     
    spinning round 
    and carry me to our nest 

    Staircase disappears 
    all the questioning is done 
    You undress my fears 
    one by one 

    Skin against courageous skin 
    your touch is my reprieve 
    Air came through a cracked window 
    and you saw me breathe

    We never rush 
    a savored touch 
    no earning my reward 

    Your control 
    lets me let go 
    my innocence restored 

    Curtains float and sigh 
    like my heart against your chest 
    We are intertwined 
    Yes by yes 

    Skin against courageous skin 
    your touch is my reprieve 
    Air came through a cracked window 
    and you saw me breathe 

    Skin against courageous skin 
    your touch is my reprieve 
    Air came through a cracked window 
    and you saw me breathe 

    Air came through a cracked window 
    and you saw me breathe 

    Air came through a cracked window 
    air came through a cracked window 
    air came through a cracked window 
    and you saw me breathe
