The Library

 

Tablo reader up chevron

 You look at me as if i was a book 

Hard on the outside with a rough texture torn on the edges and stains from others abuse 


You open my cover my pages torn and some missing 

A list of names on the back as to who has borrowed me and left me this way 


You write your name in simple letters not knowing the commitment it means 


You start to read my chapters the ups downs highs and lows of every story on every page 


My story 


The one that seems so simple spread out for you 


But its not is it 


Theres notes to the side bulletins and asterisks to pin point certain emotions


Highlighted phrases and words to remind you of the meaning 


But you continue to read ignoring the authors work skimming through me like i was past due 


Thats it though you finish my book theres chapters at the end that have yet to be finished but you dont think to continue the story you close me up and put me on a shelf    A little more torn and beat up then i was when you found me a little less valued and a little more distorted 


Then you walk away 


You dont look back wondering what could have happened if you kept reading and continuing the story ..... you just left
