Valentines

by Brandon Beneche

I toss and turn deep in the night,

The sweat arises on my brow,

I must resist with all my might,

But I can’t sleep I must read now!

How could I leave the hero there

Alone along his quest in life

Could find himself by villains snared

Could find himself finding a wife

My mind chugs on with thoughts ablaze

I find myself in pain and sorrow

My love for reading summed in a phrase

“I simply can’t wait until ‘morrow!”
