Sagely Sayings, Or Sagely Fibs

A sagely saying before when I was That blood is more thick than water Once I believed it, once, just once it was The trust I bore the desire I counted all before me to be wiser My flaws! I should have counted not The pains that I bear would have been lighter And my tears would never so, drop A sagely saying so true? So trite Cannot yet soothe my broken ribs Caused by my fooled thus swollen heart Sagely sayings or sagely fibs? Your hearts beat strange like we’re not family Like you or I is with a curse Your pumping veins holds not our blood in it By you it had been made impure This sagely saying thus used for trickery To play our hearts so easily.
