I Don't Understand Poem by Grace Petry

I don't understand why my soul meanders to you.
My body, I understand. I see why mine has an affinity for yours like Hydrogen does for Oxygen. Together they quench our longing for enticement and drench us in delusions and regret. The conduction of your heat draws me closer and closer fulfilling my need to just burn and burn. Your body, I understand.

Your soul, however, I fathom as much as the eagle knows of swimming the depths of the ocean. I yearn to swim the depths of your ocean. Why do I descend further and further until breaths are no more and the brine of your being fills my empty chest? Your essence is alluring and I am simply unable to resist slipping away into the nothing of us. Searching for light my eye sweep right and left but alas the darkness is encompassing. The darkness, I understand.
