If You Were A Novel

If you were a novel,

I’d read you.

Your cover may be tarnished,

Your spine may be weak,

Your once pointed corners now rounded,

Your once vibrant colors, now bleak,

Your delicate pages were once white and clean,

From the many hands who grasped you, 

they are yellowed and torn, 

Oh, how people can be so mean,

People never really read you though,

They tossed you about and played with your cover,

No time to read, what was really under,

They don’t even know what they would’ve discovered,

If they had seen, your true, beautiful colors.

If you were a novel,

I’d read you.
