Porcelain
And the cracks kept reaching long after you left
Through the floorboards
Branching towards the hall
Like vines that never rest
Climbing like fire through the walls
A single spark that claims the whole forest
I know, I know
It's all for the best
But honestly, I would rather be
Safe from a distance than here
When I fell to my knees
To sew the damage shut
I couldn't believe
A bright, staggering light
Came flooding into me
From out of the seams
So I reached deeper in
And pulled my whole world wide open
And for each broken mile, a billion
Miracles happen at once
In everything
But I'm safe from a distance, right here
Everything I love
Was made of porcelain
Ready to break
But the bright, staggering light
It anxiously waits inside
Like nesting dolls, the secret hides
And like every birth
It was a necessary pain
I know, I know
It's all worth the wait, worth the weight
