the book will wait

the book will wait for you, just laying there

doesn't say anything, doesn't complain, no nagging

just there waiting for you

to pick him up from that desk

and read it

because you know it's a good book and you've been neglecting it for a while now

you know you need a good read

it makes you calm, makes you feel safe

gives you peace

and he doesn't rush you, doesn't expect anything

it lies there

on the shelf, on the desk, on the drawer, under the bed, on the washroom

it's just there

waiting for you
