The submission is a poem based on hard truths, words of wisdom that are guiding principles on how to approach love, words and trust. I am the philosopher.
Wisdom of the Wise
Love, if you must
But don’t expect to be loved in return
Speak, if you must
But remember, words once uttered
Never return
Trust, if you may
But know that the heart may hold
The darkest tale you’ll ever hear
