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

This reminds me of when my parents forgot my birthday just because they miss or forget. Something doesn't mean they don't care and you are right you cant change people very good job on writing your poem i like the transitions

When the relationship is new, we put the best that we are into it.
As it grows older, sometimes the bits of us that are not so nice begin to show...

[Raymond Federle]

People can lose themselves in their emotions, and forget why they're here. Awesome poem about that person in our life that is just not them anymore. A very good write!!!

[Winter Renee Vineyard]

Very clever and expressive!

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

Very Clever poem on this subject that many encounter in life. Ranting's and views that are true and hit close to home.
I love it!

[Vidya Bacchus]

What a smoothly written piece.People change and with them the things that made us love them in the first place.Very excellent poem

Dude, awesome! Love this one. Very clever without being annoying about it. I hate poems that get too clever and are boastful about it, you just slide it in so nicely. It fits. I get what you are saying. I love the switch to the ending and that makes sense to me. I mean that you must have started the relationship for a reason in the first place so all the sucky stuff would have had to come a bit later. So that makes sense!
And this is really relatable.
Great work!

The last couplet is the best. Poem is good but what attracts me or rather worries me is the feeling with which you wrote it. As long as you transform into pretty verses like this it is good but I hope you get over it soon.
