Notebook

Sometimes it seems
That you're my only friend
My precious, little notebook
That I scribble in with pen

Your pages are filled with ME
My happiness, my pain
And as I flip through you
I see tear drops that have stained

I see the words I hide
I see the blood I've shed
I see all my inner thoughts
I see the things I've said

Notebook, you've been through it all
Recorded all there is to see
You alone are the alone one
To know the darkest side of me

Your pages are almost out
And it makes me want to cry
Because I can truly say
You've always been at my side

But soon you will be full
No more moments will we share
I'll have to buy a new friend
To write in and to care

But notebook, you won't be gone
Though your pages meet an end
I will still keep you close
My inanimate, caring friend.
