my heart just opens up to you
it's something i cannot explain
you make me feel at peace
like i am locked inside a secret
but i'm so scared of a feeling
that has not been real for me for days

i got home last night
alone i cried
so sudden struck by longing
dawn was breaking
the pieces didn't match
but the amber shades of ivory
that were stretched across the waking sky
were calling to me blindly
offering belonging
and forcing me to try
