"The Counselor"

"The Counselor"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr. 

I

Hours pass me by

And I am lost in your words

About Sorrows I can do nothing about

About Pains I cannot heal

II

Hours pass me by

And I am enamored by your words

You pain the world so beautifully

I know they are pretty lies in your head

III

Hours pass me by

And I am enthralled

By these stories you weave

By these nothingness you conceive

IV

Hours pass me by

And I never wonder why

I listen

I laugh

I cry

I get mad

I love

It never hits me

This foolishness I pursue

Means nothing much to you.
