|
We lock the gaze tightly upon each other |
|
No others come near, no others come between |
|
As you remain beside me, muted and studying |
|
In beauty and radiant heat |
|
I will write the words |
|
I want to hear you say |
|
On a page torn from my diary |
|
I'll hand you the sacred text |
|
And wait for you to place it |
|
Across the hole in my heart |
|
Smoothing the edges from the center |
|
Affixing it in place with sugar, water and saliva |
|
I want you to read these words to me every day |
|
And this is where the thought resides |
|
Stuck upon my heart on the outside |
|
I am speechless in your beauty |
|
You are flawless in my eyes |
|
As your eyes show my reflection |
|
I try to ignore the decay |
|
Listen harder to the tone |
|
The pitch of your broad chest |
|
As it exhales into mine |
|
Old highs new lows |
|
Ain't that how life goes? |
