Wisdom seems foolish
Because you are
Waiting, imprudent,
And harsh.
Your livelihood,
A moment’s notice
To be,
Planning and waiting,
You seem to be
Ever forsaking,
Waiting on
The love of your life
Who never seems to be
One we approve of.
You’re sure
The laughter you two share
Is more
Than enough proof
You two were
Meant to be.
Listen to me, Child,
And never be mildly
Sure about things
That last eternally.
Be done with your feelings;
Make sure you’re appealing
Love based on your wants,
Not his temporary need.
He’ll give you attention
To get your affection.
Don’t give what can’t
Be repeated.
You’ve got one
Thing he’s after.
Wait for a man
Who comes after
Your wants and not his need.
