On Reading You
I thought you were just another pile of text-
someone's random thoughts or
a series of lifeless narrative
But turns out -
you would be my favorite book.
I thought I could easily reveal your themes
As I bury myself within your pages.
Cover to cover,
You left me hanging with your twisted plot.
On reading you
I lose chapters of me
I could never read out loud.
I know you'd love to be a part of her collection
But remember that you'll always have a place
On the shelf within my empty chest.

Loved your poem and the simplicity of the words, also how you had the ability to illustrate your words with these watercolors :)
