Collecting Dust
you read a couple of chapters
and toss the book aside
meaning to get back to it
on a cold and snowy night
the weather has been sunny
the book collecting dust
in an obscure corner
forgotten with other stuff
you pick it up and put it down
eventually losing your place
the bookmark lost, the page unmarked
the chapters not retraced
you should have finished reading
the story would have warmed your heart
the ending was a happy one
laid out for your soul's hearth
