Soul Searching

A poem

By Lane BurnsPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

I cannot settle for ordinary,

For even as a child.

I chose the vampire over the boy.

Enchanted by the darkness and feeling.

Wanting a word painted in red and black,

Caught in an endless dance.

With an eternal burning and longing.

As if I’ve longed for a thousand years.

Yet I’ve lived so few.

Could there really be oceans of time?

That I have lived over and over.

Searching for the glimmer of a soul

So much like my own.

Is it really so evil to imagine,

Two souls searching for one another.

Willing to battle the masses,

As a villain over hero.

Go against society and its order.

To finally be with one another
