I can never make eye contact
 You see the eyes are a portal to the soul 
 And seeing someone’s soul can be freighting 
 Especially when they don't want you to see it:
 The light
 The dark The anger
 The happiness 
 The sadness
 The life
 The death
 The longing
 The emptiness 
 The truth
 I don't look into people's eyes 
 Because their soul screams at me through those small apertures

The Eyes
I can never make eye contact
 You see the eyes are a portal to the soul 
 And seeing someone’s soul can be freighting 
 Especially when they don't want you to see it:
 The light
 The dark The anger
 The happiness 
 The sadness
 The life
 The death
 The longing
 The emptiness 
 The truth
 I don't look into people's eyes 
 Because their soul screams at me through those small apertures
As a child, and sometimes still now, I used to have a very difficult time looking someone in the eyes when speaking with them, and this is, I believe, the reason why.
