He Who Must Not Be Mentioned

April 11, 2019

You’ll never know what you’re missing

You’ll never be the one who I’m kissing.

Instead, you’ll always be “he who must not be mentioned.”

Now I know to be careful when playing with fire; it is easy to get burned.

Now you know every rose has hidden thorns.
