The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. And the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. - H.P. Lovecraft

I hold you in my arms and cry.
I look at your torn pages.
Tears try to mend them.
I brush over your disheveled cover.
Within reveals your crumpled spine.
Dried glue particles cover my hands.
The tears don’t go away.
