Everyone has worn covers to their book
Not everyone has pages lost throughout years like me
Days with Faith Completely Gone
Weeping all through the night
No Hope to Move On
From all the Scars
Not Wanting to Leave
Or Be Gone
I Always try to perfect my Story
But I’ve always had to go back
And Erase what could never last
I don’t bother to Cover my Book
I’m Bare for all to see my creases
You Picked me Out
From All the Rest
Of Newer Books
With Covers that Shine and Illuminate
Like Nothing else
I now want to be that story
That Captivates you
A story you never want to put down
A story you never want to give up on reading
No matter how hard it could possibly, but hopefully never, be
My pages are fragile and brittle
My previous words are faded
So I’m Letting you know ahead of time
Turn my pages with love and care
And take the time to read what you can almost not see
Cause I don’t need my edges to break in your hand
And I want my future words to be Literate and Bold for all to see.
I want to be whole for you
Not Breaking in the Middle
I don’t want to erase what has been written with you
I don’t want my love floating in the air and back to God’s Hands
I want it with your Heart and with Your Hands
I want you to read me Like No other has
With a way that I’ll know it’s Genuine
A way filled with the emotion your scared to express
A way that I know what I’ve written will comfort you during the night
I want to be your story
The One you hold Close
And not let go Of.

I have been writing poems and books for many years with messages such as these, and my god, this was brilliant. honestly, the feelings you expressed within this poem brought a tear to my eye, i could really relate to this, well done and keep writing more like this (: xx

This poem is so good. You brought me in with a story of worn book cover and made the story strong and have great purpose. I like the description and the detail. The ending made the poem complete. We need someone to make us complete . A outstanding poem. Thank you.
