I never knew I was holding my breath

  i never knew i was holding my breath
  until i saw the cracks form
  as spiderwebs dancing across the humming crystal
  my face pressed to the glass

  i never knew i was holding my breath
  until the cracks gave way and i fell
  wind rushing against skin i forgot
  raw as an exposed nerve

  i never knew i was holding my breath
  until i felt the hooks in the wind
  tangling behind my ears

  and as my body passed into the light
  i felt my wind-stung tears fuse into glass
  you've lead me through the vulnerable night
  i've landed home   i took a breath at last
