She smelled of old books and great stories If you looked upon her you could see all the lives she lived through in all the pages she read Like the ink left the paper and found a home within her skin She was a walking novel with hidden stories living inside her head When she spoke the world grew silent just to hear the untold words she held tightly within As if her words were oxygen and without them no one could breathe Her eyes the color of stormy skies If you looked close enough the black in her eyes was an endless void, a doorway to the world she hid inside.
