Portal

The pages yellowed and faded,
Crisp and pockmarked with a plain design.
The corners frayed and worn,
Crinkles like veins running up the spine.
A portal to a whole new dimension,
Sucking me in and keeping me trapped, hypnotised.
Taking me away from reality, providing escape,
From all the twisted things I’ve witnessed.
