The Diary

 The Diary

There is a life inside me,

Just not my own,

There is a world inside me,

That will remain unknown,

Written but hardly read,

So many words,

That will never be said,

She has a story inside,

Which she trusts me with,

A world in her mind,

But she let it all go,

She let go of that fire, that spark, that glow,

Before our bond was strong and sturdy,

It never loosened, or quavered,

I am now covered in dust and forgotten,

Our friendship is gone and wavered,

But today is the day,

She is going to remember with a start,

Her wondrous writing,

When she wrote from the heart,

I can feel it,

She’s going to pick me up and recall,

All the good times in her diary,

Before her fall,

Maybe now I won’t be quite so worthless,

Maybe now I’ll finally serve my purpose.
