You're like a window Light shines through But it's dark inside Cardigans for Curtains All those lovely shapes, beside Depending on the weather Sometimes you're blue (Don't forget I can see through) Sometimes you're black Sometimes stars get stuck            Fixation, Oxygen deprivation Where would we be without you...?                     dot, dot, dot, Question The stars get stuck in the cracks Obviously a metaphor for your flaws And these lines/curves/obscurities                   of my vision Help me see you Prism, dancing, and trying to age like wine Getting, getting better all the time Reflect it back    Childhood Magnolia leaves Currently being abandoned              Streets Real Estate    And different Paint Then College NOT taking you're money "Too bad, see you next time honey" Lanterns and Moths like houseguests    Here to assess the property damage You are not Real Estate You are a Window Light shines through Ivy like a crown Curtains like a blanket You're looking from the corner Feeling like the abandoned streets Ex boyfriend like kids throwing stones                       their blind, so they usually miss...you're beauty You may crack, fracture, fractal But you are Urban                    There will be renewal Here comes the repairman (Not that you need a man)             Band-aids & stickers Heartache like a stomachache And he's looking in There's the Windowsill Light Shines through You are more than a Window But it's dark inside
