The Ruined Book

Lost books dried water in between their dog eared pages; the angry tears you bled muffled behind a thin wooden door.

You hid to nurse the wounds casually inflicted everyday by the one thing you had created through

Days of patience and hours of labor to knit every sinew and bone together, so tender was your art.

Your own blood and sweat had been the fresh ingredients used for the old spell of wrathful animation.

I do not remember how I entered into this world, whether screaming or silent like a virus but

I was born to destroy everything you ever loved before me.
