			"Thread"

It twines around me
like a lover
Envelops me
within the darkness
But I don't fear it
it whispers touches
And gives me
everything I need
I hold it inside
deep within me
It doesn't matter
what others think
I am my own soul
I'll do what I choose
And revel in
my sticky silence
I will not let it go
it is a part of me
My darkness takes its toll
but its my price to pay
