I read you

as a book of soft cover emotions

and hard back enclosures

 

Turning pages,

numbered in no particular order

following a different path

 

Are you fact or fiction

or something in between

fairy tales and Stephen King

 

Twists and turns,

plot changes, new words

on old subjects

 

Each chapter found,

connected to the next

but severed from the previous

 

Until the finale,

sad and broken phrases,

fading into a binding sunset

 

I wanted more,

the conclusion unsatisfying,

too many questions remaining

 

So I flipped to the start,

thinking I might have missed something

in the translation of your thoughts

 

Only to find all of your pages now

carried the same message

The end

Your words speak true for a lot people.
This is how it is. We hang onto hope for a while and then realize it's the end.

Oh, I wasn't clear, it was revoked for always reading too much into everything.

Lol! You still got it babe! (The quick wit)

nice metaphor applied to this...we are like books, some with happy endings, some with sad endings, some more easily read than others...some we just shake our heads at the confused plot and set the book down, and for some we bookmark it and come back to it later hoping it will make more sense.

Thank you Jacob. I am glad you enjoyed this one.
