Beware the draught of shallow springs,

The hollow praise of hollow rings,

Drops of venom, slick and sly

Turn petals pale and roots awry

In a twist of storied lie

The fairer flowers in silence die

And though exposure poisons breath

With daylight loss and ego death

Where every 'lick, a fateful sip,

Fragile systems begin to slip

Seek not the poison nor fleeting sky

Not gilded words that mask the why

We once sweet, now bitter scold,

As into mirror the world drains cold

Beware the draught of shallow springs,

The hollow praise of hollow rings,

Drops of venom, slick and sly

Turn petals pale and roots awry

In a twist of storied lie

The fairer flowers in silence die

And though exposure poisons breath

With daylight loss and ego death

Where every 'lick, a fateful sip,

Fragile systems begin to slip

Seek not the poison nor fleeting sky

Not gilded words that mask the why

We once sweet, now bitter scold,

As into mirror the world drains cold

Beware the draught of shallow springs,

The hollow praise of hollow rings,

Drops of venom, slick and sly

Turn petals pale and roots awry

In a twist of storied lie

The fairer flowers in silence die

And though exposure poisons breath

With daylight loss and ego death

Where every 'lick, a fateful sip,

Fragile systems begin to slip

Seek not the poison nor fleeting sky

Not gilded words that mask the why
