" Reader Writer "

By bpathos

Life is simply a story told
Romance that I've been sold
I know that it seems
Memories and dreams
Wax and wane
But are somehow the same
 
The writers that no one reads
Share no story, plant no seed
The story that is never heard
Is a sentence with no words
 
The good story has one need
Writers only exist if you read
And fall on our sword
Whenever you are bored
Live again when you're intrigued
 
Stories of truth or fiction
Are told with this restriction
Being in the clouds or fiery pit
We can only live as you see fit
