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

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.
