The Novelist

Yes I do
I read you like a book
Lick my thumb
To turn your pages

Late at night
When I should be sleeping
I’m huddled around the light
Trying to follow your story

And at the end of every chapter
Just when I think I’ve got you figured out
Your cliffhanger throws me into a frenzy

I want to put you down
But in the end
In your last paragraphs
You redeem yourself
And I’m back at
Once upon a time…
