Fading light,

Midnight skies

Pages more,

I close the door.

Alone, at last.

In peace to read.

I turn the page,

It's captured me.

"Why did I do it?"

I wonder why she did too.

"Listen to these tapes."

Or read the words for me.

Up late,

Late as can be.

Black ink,

New book scent,

A perfect night for me.

A day before a party

I'm screwing with myself.

How deep can this book take me?

Showing a broken girl,

How a boy feels,

I relate so much.

I hate certain people,

Fall for others.

Hannah why did you go?

I love your character.

Yet,

When the book closes,

You'll be but a distant memory.

Until

I pick it up

Again.
