My Life in Fiction

When I think of you

I think of all the books I ever read

You are Hermione but I marry Ginny 

I am Jacob but you choose Edward

I don’t want to know our fate in The Hunger Games

But somehow I know it will be the same

Will we ever end up together?

Will we ever see each other again?

I don’t want to know how this story ends

But the words come right out of the page

I see you at the reaping

You take your sisters place

You are the girl on fire

And my name is Gale

You will fight until the end

And I will betray you once again

But could you find forgiveness in your heart

For a man that caused you so much pain

I swear I’d rip out all the pages

If it would change the end

And I swear I’d change my ways

If it would change our fate

But the books I read are all the same

They remind me of you

And how we never do

End up together

I know my written fate

And it’s not with you.
