You pick me off the corner
Where I lay
Lonely and forgotten.
You take me home
And close the door
And breathe a deep sigh of relief.
We’re finally alone
You and I.
You look at me
With love in your eyes
And caress me oh-so-lovingly.
You breathe in
My intoxicating scent.
It is disgustingly clear
That you’ve fallen.
Fallen for me
At first sight.
Because with me
You can be whoever
You want to be.
A queen,
A mother,
Or just a girl
Who found love
In a hopeless place.
You let my words
Make love to you.
You’re a junkie
And I’m your drug.
Because I make you
Forget who you are.
I fill your brain
With words
Until they all merge
To form a beautiful picture.
A picture that is my story.
I take you
To places forgotten
Where dreams become reality
And anything is possible.
You spend life
Folded between my pages.
Like I’m the very air
You want to breathe.
You’re a junkie
And I’m your drug.
Because after you read me
You
Will
Never
Be
The
Same
Again.
-The Girl Lost In The Bookstore
This poem is like a live portrait sketch. Did you use a dictaphone or something while the event was happening? I see a bit of ‘concrete poetry’ too. A poem to play aloud. Kudos!

I think it is a device where you can record your thoughts and listen them to later whenever you want to.

I’m no poet, but I know what I like, and I like this; especially the lines “After you read me you will never be the same again.” That speaks volumes in and of itself.
