I'm lost in the pages of a book
The words dance around me
The ink stains my skin
I'm no longer just me
With my miniscule problems
I'm more
The character of the book
The journey they're on
The feelings
And then I'm no longer me at all
I am the book
All within it
I don't want to leave
I want their never-ending story
Their imperfect endings that still say
Everything will be okay
But it always ends
And I'm just me again
In my own life
Without that comfort, that feeling
That is captured
Inside the pages of a book
