I read you

as a book of soft cover emotions

and hard back enclosures

 

Turning pages,

numbered in no particular order

following a different path

 

Are you fact or fiction

or something in between

fairy tales and Stephen King

 

Twists and turns,

plot changes, new words

on old subjects

 

Each chapter found,

connected to the next

but severed from the previous

 

Until the finale,

sad and broken phrases,

fading into a binding sunset

 

I wanted more,

the conclusion unsatisfying,

too many questions remaining

 

So I flipped to the start,

thinking I might have missed something

in the translation of your thoughts

 

Only to find all of your pages now

carried the same message

Brilliant write, Will! I really enjoy relating the person to that of a book. Probably because I'm a book addict, BUT... This is outstanding. Going into my favorites. :)

This is great. It has this witty feel, while still maintaining a bit of a melancholy lost love feel. A very nice write.
