Reading is an escape,
As a new world takes shape;
Taking me away from the pain,
A life I wish to abstain.
I read about handsome men,
The author has thoughtfully written;
Respectful, loyal and true;
A story I want to continue.
These men are soft and kind,
Yet still confident and spined;
Never lying, never cheating,
Never making me anticipate a beating.
These men speak their thoughts,
Like poems never forgot.
They don't make me feel devalued,
Or always accuse me of having an attitude.
They don't look at other women,
Their true intentions deeply hidden;
From my naïve brown eyes,
Never seeing me as their prize.
Reading is an escape,
A place where true love takes place;
I never have to feel alone,
Never having to retreat to my headphones.
