the book reading

your scars/
my book/
the one i read/
lying on my bed/
besides my night lamp/

the one that i shall never rush/
the one that i shall never close/
the one that i shall never put down/
upon my nightstand/

the one that i shall never/
turn my back upon/
and go to sleep/

your scars/
my book/
the one that i promise to read/
day and night/
from start to finish/
and then start all over again/

your scars/
my book/
the one that i promise to read/
and not a single blank space/
and not a single pause/
will i miss/

your scars/
my book/
i read/
and i read/
and i read/
