These Are the Words You Wish You Read

These are the words you wish you read To bite your tongue and rest your head On ruffles flushed and feathers red And weakness coming over These are the pages that you turned And all the lies you wished you learned Stiff on a stake your heart has burned And weakness coming over These are the words you seemed to miss But knocked into you with a kiss While fire breathing dragons hiss And weakness coming over These are the pages that you ripped Misleading love that you have sipped While into life you’ve only dipped And weakness coming over
