Bookmarked
Put your mark on me, reader.
Leave my chapter behind for a read later.
A denouement, will it be beyond reach?
Figures of speech—
Can they convey a love lost in words?
Of all these pages, will you flip past ours?
Leave me hanging on footnotes;
I won’t feel any better with sugarcoats.
Peruse between each line;
Annotations hidden in plain sight.
Prints too fine—“you’re for keeps but never mine.”
A romantic tragic irony, that’s our story in hindsight.
