Most always, before closing a book

You decide to take one last look

And in that last look you tend to find

Something that truely satisfies

But satisfaction's not enough

And in defeat, you give a huff

You turn the page once again

And take one last look, until "The End."

The author's comments:
I was about to fall asleep when I started thinking about the books I've read, and how I always get into trouble for not doing anything else but reading. Hahahaha.
"One Last Look" was actually the first phrase that ran through my head.

I know it doesn't exactly rhyme, but its close enough!~

Poetry isn't all about rhyme, it's about imagery, emotion, the feel, and this poem captures all of those really well.
