I'm guessing this doesnt look so storybook now
Open it to Chapter 6
entitled -Love and Trust
I better put this book down
Cause the first page was half charred
to where you could see a bit of the next
I wish I could hold you back in class and say that
it was all from the stress.
but I wouldn't be lying if I told you
we weren't going anywhere
Eachday I told myself otherwise making it to where I wouldn't care
I just sat back and waited for my scene to begin
holding on to my chair with my eyes dead centered in
to the actress on stage
what a beautiful smile
too bad she'd use it to make my heart hurt for a while
but thats the name of the game if you read a sad story
after me comes the next and I started feeling bad for the guy before me
Then again he's the reason why the pages were so crisp
Held up that match for too long and got you addicted to this (alcohol)

Is it sinful to think about myself for a while?
Just put this book back up on the shelf in a state of denial
then pick it back up when I think I'm ready again
Hold on to my sick stomach because its not ready to spin

But the pages stay the same from the first chapter to the 6th
Every time I pick it up I keep adding to the list
of the things in the seventh
Like,
.... Self Respect. Chapter 7 Verse 1.
Part A. went up like the flame from a gun.
then goes...... .Decency. Chapter 7 Verse 2.
Part B. I realize......
" Wait, its me with the match now
What the fuck am I doing to you?!"

So I'd better take a step back and trip over my guitar
when these feelings come over me
like a familiar coat from my attire
And back onto myself again
I start thinking of how I wish I had the chance to tell you (my friend)
That sometimes I feel as if I have nowhere else to go
but I have something left to say and I have nothing left to show
and if you were here with me right now I'd take time out of my day
to say I love you.
And I'll never hurt you again, thats why I'm putting this book back up
on the shelf in shame.

I've gathered one thing from this whole ordeal, and thats that
we are the same book, pages burn in me as well.
