She has read a many,

And maybe lived a few

The world she chose is just upon

A hundred books or two

In fiction she had found a friend,

In every verse or line,

Or maybe in the characters

That she has loved divine

On every page her hands caressed,

She left a piece of her

And from them she also took

What minds could never spur,

For books, they're meant to carry

What odds can't understand,

So all her books, for all her life

She carried with her hands,

The stars have named her paper girl

More fictitious than alive,

She longed for happy ever after

But chance had her deprived

They say her life's a novel

A poignant one it seems,

For every time she wished of love,

The letters can't be seen

So don't you promise her with words,

For every time she falls,

But with all the happy endings

And true love, most of all
