Love letter to literature
My love for you started young and early
See you were an escape from all things bad
You made me forget all the problems I had
You looked so lifeless yet you were so powerful
Nothing about you could ever be dull
Inside I was a ruler and a rebel
I was old and young, poor and rich
I was a fair maiden or an old warty which
I was the bully and the underling
You see you made me feel like I could be anything
The sound of the turning of the pages
The characters of all ages
See this is what pulled me in
The happiness within and the scariness that brought upon goosebumps on my skin
But lately it seems like I have no time for you
Trust me I wish i did I really do
But there seems to be a strong wind pulling us apart
So strong it feels like it’s also tearing out my heart
So strong that I can’t seem to breathe
I can’t seem to escape no more I feel trapped
Like my whole life has been capped and somebody forgot to leave the air hole
Like diamonds no longer glitter in my soul
You see you brought light
And now there is only darkness and fright
All along I thought I wanted you but you see what I had was need
You were like a bandage although my heart continues to bleed
Maybe it’s not all bad though
Maybe it’s time I face life and bravely take the blow
Maybe it’s time I stop hiding
And grab this life by the reins and start courageously riding
But rather riding away from my all consuming fear
And waiting till all the obstacles clear
I will jump in head first
And be prepared for the worst
Till then this is not a farewell
But rather saying I have found a better place to dwell
I have stopped living within you
And started living outside
I will no longer hide
But come to you for my own pure joy and nothing more
This doesn’t at all mean I will ever stop loving you
Because my love for you still vibrates within my very essence and core
