Windswept

On that night under the staircase
Our arms drifting down
Your kiss made me a believer
Cleansed my sins somehow

I'd be what you need
I'd keep you inside my fortress
Hand you the keys
Leave you to roam these walls
But you tore down the keep
I returned to find ruins
You left all my love in
The rubble with these walls

But in my head I am still there
I can still feel you breathing slow
I've known this dream for a long time
In the air suspended here
With thousands of words we've spoken
Can I soar? Up through the clouds?
Leave all of this behind?

But in my head I am still there
I can still feel you breathing slow
I've known this dream for a long time
All alone I feel your breath
I hear your whispers dark like storms
Telling me: "Dear
I'll never leave your mind."

And you've been there all along
Tugging me, pulling me down
Touching him, holding him close
You've made your home
And I see your face through his eyes
With every move of your hips
You're breaking my bones
While holding me hostage

Could I still love you
Though my arms are breaking?
Could we still be alone?
Do I still know you?
Are you still my answer
To the question I've asked since I was born?
