Analysis of Pages of my Soul
Michelle Elise Shock 1988 (Winter Park, Fl)
I was an open book
No chapters to spare
You thumbed through each of my pages as if you were touching my naked skin
And with every turn, my soul was bare.
I showed my love through cursive display
bids of affection, I wept, I prayed,
…..you turned away.
