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?

You missed that part right?
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?
