i find myself fascinated with people
that have a darkness inside of them,
a darkness that is both terrifying
and beautiful....
i want to touch their souls.
and have it slide though
my fingers like mud.
scoop it into my palms like rain.
i want to feel what they have felt.
i want to know why darkness clings to them
like a shadow they cannot shake
and i want to know why i am drawn
to these shadows more often than
the soft glowing souls that
flicker around me like fireflies.
i'd like to know what someone feels
when they dive into my soul....
