Tell me something new

Tell me something new

tell me how your legs or phone wasn't working on my birthday

to congratulate me or get me a little cake

For God's sake, don't make an excuse 

for every time you refuse. 

To be considerate but to let that one off the hook?

I'll maybe consider it 

tell me how your mouth and mind were merely together.

How all the things , places , events and secrets I told you

just happened to slip as if your mouth was a foot and the 

banana was my secret. 

Now I know that my bond... 

you can't keep it.

But c'mon, tell me something new

tell me how you always say that you'll change your ways

hey, don't change for me. I can't make you advance.

I can only give you the belt to your pants.

don't tell me you're tired about how we feel about each other.

I know there's a other side to you, the real one, I know because I seen it.

I seen it before.

The new you, I abhor

The old you, I adore 

But c'mon , be something old

Such powerful words, so raw and full of emotion and disappointment. Sometimes those that are closest to us make the worst excuses relying on our consideration and love for them. I especially like the imagery of words being like a foot and the banana the secret... interesting image.

An ode to a bird on a branch may have sounded similar ... while waiting for the man on the ground to come to see that the bird is not moving. Merry Christmas CRZ.

It is so difficult when a romance or a friendship takes a downward spiral and we can't help but remember the person we adored - finding it difficult to accept what they have become - or what they were all along, but kept hidden.

I could feel your words my friend.

This was a pretty nice poem. I found one noticeable mistake: you spelled another, a other.

That dilema we go through when we know the one we love and still let them lie to us. We let them be in our lives because we can't imagine it without them but eventually ties break. Very well written!

Loved this. We all seem to feel that way when someone forgets something important. I hope things get better.
Keep up the good work

Excellent write about being devalued and ignored. Literally just finished my final product on this matter, at my page. You capture this well!

This is very confessional, tough, well written.
