Faux Leather Bindings

~ Counting out change for a novel I’m buying picking a title that just went on sale Turning the page where the margins are crying only to read of this heartbroken tale Where is the chapter that speaks of forever in between lines that my love should have penned Ink where eternal has now become never seems the last place one would look for pretend What’s to believe about fictional findings words I once thought so incredibly true Reaching “The End” in these faux leather bindings knowing the words come to mean, me and you ~

Such a unique metaphor perfectly penned my friend...one can feel the sadness in this one, it lingers across the pages and grabs the reader pulling them into the somber mood... great poem my friend :) hugs

So sad to think about Chris and you have written this so well to show it. But, I believe you can write an excellent book, yourself! (and also be happy with love without an ending):)
