The winding tales of heroes and heroines from far off lands
their stories forever immortalized in the words of past wordsmiths
the stories they live are set in stone
yet each time I read one feels like I am with them on their grand adventures,
becoming acquainted with these courageous legends
facing every foe with them on the front lines
I figure out every riddle and clue before them, unable to communicate to them,
Unable to warn them of their doomed fates, unable to help them
still I stay letting my heart get crushed
by their predetermined fates
yet after its all through I am left with a void in my heart
only to be filled with a new book to fall in love with
