Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

Ignore me all you want,
I won't disappear.
I still have not been touched,
For almost half a year.

I give you knowledge,
I entertain.
I cry incessantly,
Oh so much pain.

I'm still at the library,
In the same spot.
Until a girl grabs me,
I love her a lot.

I sleep on her pillow,
Next to her ted.
Staring at the door knob,
Waiting to be read.
