I read, like an open book All others can see the words written on my pages. I contain tales, read as secretive, A hushed whisper that only a handful have seen.
But how many times has this booked been checked out? A sea of white masks, deadpan through the years So cherished once, now faded, emotionless. Forgotten both to me, and I to them.
My secrets are secrets no more - I own my past, without connecting to it.
I am an open book, because who has to connect with a story? People can project on a tale, As what better to have in a confidant, than a horror story? Something you can read from the comfort of your bed, A scary, scarred, stream of words that still seem otherworldly.
Frankensteinβs monster will never be faced β So, too, is this failuresβ life.
You understand, you say. You sympathise, you say.
But how can you, when I checked myself out long ago.
