Leather bound book called "Soliloquy" With a red, beating center Embossed green leather stamped with leaves A novel without any beginning, no end, My pages turned over , worn at the edges But never actually really read A stranger with cool fingers Runs his hand down my spine Sending shivers Making my words inside me quiver He is light With dark rimmed eyes Taking me right Towards his location I'm gravitating But I'm not map And I've never been good at navigating I'm loosing him as he, He glances, But he puts me back His dark stature and old eyes now uninterested I'm panicking I'm becoming frantic You are fading Like my ink Stay! We have something in common! I feel my edges yearn for him Dog ear me to your heart's desire! I'll let you bleach me sunny! He's walking away, Please! Let you stay... And mend my paper He's gone And I settle back down On my wooden shelf I breathe in the disturbed dust Sit in the still air These chance occurrences Leave the possibility Of one day being really read The shelf life is the hell life
