piled against my bedroom floor

torn and tattered, pages falling out

they were used

they were inherited

they taught us something

most importantly, they were loved

we spent night after night skimming through these words

the margins were spilled with scribbles

the bottom of the page filled with doodles

our minds wander

only to come back to these draining words

only to give them away

to be held once again

to be loved once again.
