Same Old

I’m the same old book read over and over again
It’s like a place so familiar, a place you’ve already been
Every page marred by fingertips and death ridden tears
Every chapter a disturbance to match the human fears
No surprise, nothing new to capture the reader’s heart
Same old routine with a sad heartbreak at every start
Battles and conquests mark every word with raging fire
Defeat and death flag every cliffhanger with desire
Let’s watch her risk and set your hopes at the edge
With every emotion you’ve pushed to the ledge
Watch her fall; watch her go through tough situations
Fill every single word with endless exaggeration
You’ve read this book like a bible even in your mind
Hoping you didn’t miss the something you’re looking to find
My eyes fill to tell you there’s nothing new to me
Read all you want but it’s the same old story
