captivate
wandering past the same tree twice—
would remit that one was lost,
but like a book,
maybe it’s the one you picked up again that you never finished,
but why didn’t you finish it the first time?
for what you seek lies past the spine,
but a great story should not captivate solely at its
departure,
for leaving one to sit through pain for a happy ending
is delusion.
