I've Withdrawn Our Hearts From Conclusions

by Auracle

https://youtu.be/-Lr4jYSJsZQ

 

I've softened my tone,

for you I've simmered down. 

For us I'll live on:

hearing, without listening

listening, without understanding

understanding, without grasping

grasping, without clasping. 

I've withdrawn our hearts from conclusions. 

And in that motion, live on.
