This is the house that she built

When I am a shipwreck

you find the right pieces

that haven’t been torn up

and tossed around too long.

 

Your hands keep me grounded,

I collapse like a raindrop

something trapped in the empty I leave behind

I want it to be something worth seeing.

 

I give my shaking sins a name

in your desire to pin my soul,

I know how to let myself go

trust some of my blueprint with you.

 

When I am crumbling

you remind me I am not even complete,

we shatter then we solve,

we break then we build.

 

I thought I would make it to dry land

but when I found myself here instead

I am in the storm,

I am laughing in the lifeboat.

 

Your hands hold me together,

I swear sometimes I can hear them saying

we are not finished building you yet.
