A Romance With A Hint Of Madness

By Evan Sanders


Touch me.

I am the side of you that begs to come out. I am the darkness within you. I am those deep dark colors that challenge your heart.

Touch me.

You will learn so many things about yourself if you walk down the stairs to fine me...

Dwelling deep within the recesses of your soul.

Touch me. Hold me. Love me.

I will add depth to the strokes of light you paint onto the canvas. I will add harmony to the chaos that you tried to avoid for such a long time. If you love me, I will bring out deep unhealed pains in you...

I will also give you a chance to heal them. I will give you a chance to pull together those scars and finally heal those wounds you've been holding for such a long time.

I will make you shake in your boots and want to run as quickly as lightning strikes the ground. But if you stay, I will show you something you've never seen before. Beauty in the depths. Beauty in the cracks of your heart.

I will show you things you've only dreamed of...the thoughts that dance in and out of your mind as you shut your eyes. But you must first touch me. You must first decide that you're going to be with me.

I am your shadow.

The depths and the darkness inside of you. And what good is light without its proper counterpart? What good is light without some contrast.

Because if all we see is light, we get used to its presence. We get familiar with it and start to under appreciate it.

Let me in. Let me show you the way. I will show you things you've only dreamed of.

Because there cannot exist one without the other. With anyone, there is some madness in real things. In this world of smokescreens and shadows, real things don't come along very often.

The greatest journey begins in not a step forward, but the opening up of the ground underneath you and a falling into something that will bring magic out of your being.

So touch me...

And I will change you.
