My Advice To You Poem by Wilfred Mellers

My advice To You

All the chatter doesn't matter for it won't make you any fatter
All the makeup doesn't cover up your bad personality
All the lies you tried to hide, have you no pride for the secrets kept inside?
In the end, you can't pretend you were ever my friend

What you do will come back to you for you weren't true
You had it made but the games you played won't fade away
Words spoken, hearts broken, that's for certain
Why did you do it, made me go through it accomplishing nothing in the end

Mysteries unfold as you grow old all by yourself
You were never satisfied so you lied as innocence cried
You were so cruel treating the fool that I really am
Opened my hands but you had other plans to take me down

You took advantage and wanted a percentage for I didn't speak the language
Part of the package was you wanted a carriage when you spoke of marriage
Now it seems so funny for all you wanted was money and all it entailed
I hope you found what you wanted for I'm disappointed and a little disjointed

One thing is for certain you were never a good person as you so believed
Never too wise to believe in your own lies to my depravity
Sacrifice made, the prices I paid for hopes and dreams have faded away
Hearts filled with sorrow praying for a better tomorrow that never comes

Some day you'll wake and find those treated unkind has left you behind
Searching till the end of time gone now is your prime for bittersweet is the fruit
For, in the end, no one will attend for words of praises are stifled
You reap what you sow If you didn't know that for harvest time of plenty

You live and learn that bridges you don't burn you need to cross again
Things that you choose can leave you singing the blues for this time you lose
It didn't have to go that way for at the end of the day darkness came
You pick and choose and then you refuse you stand accused

On me, you can no longer lean on my hands are clean
Does it make you happy at night when you turn out the light, are you alright?
Like the words of a song in my arms you don't belong to you're so wrong
Pebbles won't turn to a pearl for I would've given you the world for that's how I am


Words to ponder as you wonder what went so wrong
The fool never learned and is not too concerned for in the pit they'll burn
Please do think twice and try to be nice is my advice
When think only of yourself you'll end up by yourself to wonder why you're lonely
