break the habit
and form it back up again
stronger
[or weaker]
than before

hold it together with
dips in time
and days gone by
and a word here and there
tied up with a bow of
intentions
and whatever free time there is to spare
for a curse against
other curses
and mortality
or mundanity
in general

hold it together
hold it together
hold it but not too tightly
for breaking may make
it easier
[or harder]
and you’ll only know
once it
happens

[and sometimes that’s a risk one must make]
[and sometimes
it absolutely
is
not]
