I press my thumbs into your skin
Kiss pearls along your spine
Your sighs are full of half-said words
Your fingers lace with mine.

If we were angels, I'd have one wing
My halo's in your hand
I wish that we were better
We're no more than we can stand.

So tell them that it's all okay,
Your soul's not shattered gems
I may be broken, but I'm not wise
You sigh; "Kiss me again?"

We laugh and laugh 'cause if we cry
Our lungs won't take in air
We are statues made of stardust
I'd forgotten how to care.

I am the sparks within your nerves
You're marrow of my bones
I smile and smile and tell them all:
"At long last, I am home."
