Unwritten Chapters

a life in words
threaded by heartache,
bound with sorrow

laid bare
for all to see,
each page curled
against the next

until you held
my words in your hands

now I watch them fall,
disappear with yesterday

chapters of tomorrow
will be written,
ink flowing
with words of hope

Thank you so much for entering my contest with this poem I really like the extended metaphor of this write - and the way you have written it so gently makes it more beautiful and touching
