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

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
