Wise Man

A wise man once said

Love isnt worth it

Live alone

And you will always be happy

A wise man once foretold

A story of love

Being together

And staying happy

A wise man once saw

A lovers true bliss

With a simple kiss

Sealing their souls

This wise man was once me

Seeking the answers

To give 

To all that listened

But now lies

The question

That this wise man

Can not answer

A wise man once said

Love is a lie

But did that wise man

Listen to what a wise man once said?

Enjoyable piece. Especially the last stanza that questions the 'wise man'. It is also quite straightforward and to the point without anything hanging around that just commands its expression. Good job.

Hahaha i love that ending line with that question... clever in a way as well as humorous. Really nice, enjoyed.

Chuckle, chuckle...You got me good with that last verse. THAT'S right! This wise woman didn't listen either.
