Stupid book,
I can't put you down
As you have
Continually
Entranced me with your words
So crisp and clear,
So black and white
And heart-wrenching as I
Entwine
Within the characters themselves,
As I feel their pain,
Their sorrow,
Their love.

Stupid book,
You made me cry,
You made me laugh,
You made me smile,
And now I don't know whether I am
Me or Her
Or possibly Him.
Your point of view has murdered me,
I have built up a tolerance and the
Withdrawal
Is horrifying.
Please, never end.
I need my high.

I just finished Tempted, the 6th House of Night novel, and now I am so tore up (because yes, I am one who lives a book like someone lives a life) that I want to scream and now I have to wait till April 26, 2010 for the 7th one!!!! Thanks for listening to my rant. Enjoy my poem :)

I loved this poem; it defiantly describes what people (should) feel when they are reading a great book. Good job=)
