She was a closed book
A book that never opened up
Never let anyone read her
Kept her secrets hidden beneath the cover
Between the pages
In the spaces of the words that formed sentences
Sentences that described how truly damaged she was
How gentle and fragile
You took the book in the palm of your hands
You swung open the cover and read the pages
You didn't read it all
You must have missed the part where it stated you needed to handle with care
You must of skipped that page
Or skimmed over those lines
Unless you read it but didn't care
Because you started ripping out pages
They tore and crumbled as they hit the pavement floor
You threw the book down and walked away
A page was left inside
It said once you open this book you must stay.
you must have missed that part right?
Right?
