"The Perfect Book" by Iviana Moop

She turns the pages,
One by one,
Sitting in that library.
It's always been there,
The library,
Stacked high with books,
All of which she has read,
One time or another.
But there's something different
About the one,
That lays on her lap,
That she now reads.

The little book,
So delicate,
So perfect,
The little book,
That will never end.
The little book that holds her dreams,
Her nightmares,
Her past,
Her future.

The little book,
Is far too perfect.
