Book that Became My Cage

I was lost

Endlessly wondering through an old library

Every book covered in dust

Not one of the titles ever discussed

My heart stopped me in place at the fartherest end of it

An ancient bookshelf with only one book

Something inside screamed at me to take it

As I did, I commit

Blank pages, all yellow from age

Nothing even slightly captured my attention

As the wind flew through the window

A photo fell from it, ever so slow

Eyes the color of the deepest ocean

And it took only a second. One.

As my hand flew towards the pen

I was lost in it again

Smile that touches the broken parts of your heart, and mend them back again

It indeed can

Pen dancing a waltz with my hand

Ink slowly, with the pages blend

I could not hear a sound

I could not see a sight

As my heart slowly escaped on the page

Of the book that suddenly became my cage
