If you can't judge a book
By its cover
Or the first tantalising kiss
From a lover
As you read through the pages
Traversing the stages
Of each chapter in life
The cover may be crumpled
And well read
The new lover
May seem good in bed
It's when the honeymoon
Has come to an end
That you may discover
Your lover
Is also your friend
Or you write
A fresh chapter
To your life
A romantic mystery?
Or a bloodied knife?
