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
Cracked Window
