They’ve covered you

You once were new

And now you’re devoured

By black and blue

I wasn’t surprised

You’ve lived many lives

You didn’t lack spine

But how time flies

Old and leathered

You looked so weathered

But I loved to glance

It showed you were treasured

Stalling goodbyes

Tears in my eyes

I waited so long

Before I revised

To write.

Again.

Thank you for your pages.
