Old Highs New Lows

								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?
