Don’t let me grow cold and old and dusty
Pull apart my heart and I shall enchant.
My stories need to breathe and shriek and weep
Let me arch my spine and burst my binds.
Leave no dog-eared tear-stained page unturned.
Cradle me, inhale me, then pass me on
While I can still feel the warmth of your touch.
