A Book And A Reader

The synopsis looked good,
The cover looked nice, 
You opened the book, 
And began a new life. 
You found a new home, 
You met some new friends, 
You kept on reading, 
Hoping it would  never end. 
You danced through the pages, 
You sang out the words, 
You felt all their joy, 
And all their pain and hurt. 

The pages cut your fingers, 
And the words cut your heart, 
Like the author had a knife, 
And was tearing your soul apart. 
You laughed with the characters, 
And with them you cried 
You feel in love with them, too, 
But with them you died, 
And when the book reached its end, 
And when your broken heart couldn't heal, 
You suddenly realized 

                               It Was Not Real.
