book

Need a book, as a balm for heartbreak

To fill the void, and get lost for hours

Escape this world and roam in some imaginary ones

With new acquaintances to befriend

To forget the mess and revel in someone’s genius

Of words

To feel the good in the world, through eyes of another

To be touched, by an imaginary hand on the shoulder

And rest

To know am not alone, in this infinite suffering

And it is possible, to get up next day

And fight the fight

To forget the guilt, of losing oneself

And hurting others

To speak to me, like no one else can

From another time and space

Need the best, like a sweet nectar

To fill the soul, for another run
