Shut your eyes in beautiful agony.
Hold on tightly in disconsolate embrace.
Perceive each moment in absolute empathy.
Stumble through love in absurd grace.

Shut your mouth in reticent desires.
Hold on gingerly in subtle desperation.
Perceive each hour in a pain which inspires.
Stumble surely through dreams without limitation.

Shut it.
Hold it.
Perceive it.
Let yourself fall.

Shut it.
Hold it.
Perceive it.
Savor it all.



Shut your heart in fierce denial.
Hold on serenely in gaudy movement.
Perceive each action as anything other than trivial.
Stumble confidently through life-altering moments.

Shut it.
Hold it.
Perceive it.
Let yourself fall.

Shut it.
Hold it.
Perceive it.
Savor it all.

Enfold each sadness in muscled arms and fisted palms...
Take failure into the heart and let it dissolve into the most stalwart of blood...
Bequeath the bare body to each solitude in simpering limbs...

And you will cease to be alone.
