it holds my deepest wishes
my most sincere thoughts
my heartless desires
my craziest hopes
my simplest temptation
my weirdest motivation
my strongest determination
my longest objectification

it knows the words i don't say
the feelings I won't feel
the things I want to do
the things I don't want to lose
the heart that longs
the feeling that yearns
the tears that burn;
into it before i close the book
