Words To The Wise
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, October 12,2013

I walk the streets we use to walk
Talk to friends we use to talk
Now I'm left here on my own

I still go places we use to go
Why she left me I just don't know
She doesn't even pick up her phone

I eat at places we use to eat
Friendly faces I still greet
I don't know what, where, or when

Lord knows I truly love her so
Now everybody knows
What a fool I have been

Now I still question why
How quickly love can die
Harder now the empty space to fill

Working through the hurt and the pain
I will never fall in love again
Gray skies bring forth winters chill

Suffer now from a broken heart
To fall in love is not too smart
Most likely she never loved me at all

The stars no longer come out at night
Clouded skies block the moonlight
A perilous journey I've hit a brick wall

Still the night of my discontent
All ends that I spent
Happiness I once knew

Took one right on my chin
In the game of love, you cannot win
Seasons now turns to winter blue

Keeping open my two eyes
Next time I'll be more wise
Approaching things a lot more cautiously

Be weary of who you chose
Chances are you will loose
Not everything can be seen transparently

The darkest of caverns I fell in
Dizzy my days for my body grows thin
Can anyone be so mean?

Now I can see the light
At least I can sleep at night
For my hands and heart are clean
