Stories shared
some not yet written
narratives
prompting quarrels
others
inspiring laughter
language
sparking romantic escapades
more often
denoting solemn silence
chapters
short, not-so-sweet
segments
drawn out, delightful
and the pages keep turning
reading you
causes blurry vision
headaches, eyestrain
out loud
or in my head
none of the words
make sense
literary reflections
cliches
jumbled sentences
prose poised for pause
novel intentions
filler thoughts
ideas never printed
forget about
communicated
character development
weakened plot twists
when fiction and fairy tales
articulate love
better than you
leafing through paragraphs
I discover not a hero
not a savior
not a meaningful happy ending
but a realization
you and I
no matter how hard I try
will always be bookends
never quite meeting
in the middle
