tendrils of something tangible evading my touch

I guess everyone has bad days.

 

There's so much you can never know about a person, even as the years go by.  

I spent all my time trying to figure out people.  I think I learned a lot.

 

Now I'm tired of everyone, and that subtle way humanity has of not surprising me.  The only one I really want to know

 

The only enticing mystery, the enigmatic crumbling and the primordial cracking and rumbling,

The chiaroscuro soul I want to pin under the microscope,

The rare cryptic smile drawing me in,

The single beating heart tempting me with its trance-inducing thrums,

 

The only monster I want to face and name and tame

 

Is the one in me.

Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
