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

I like how this poem was constructed. But most of all I like the story told by the poem itself.

OUCH. Girls do this without thinking... not realizing I think the effect it has. Well penned

[Annabelle Lee]

I liked the story this told

[Samuel Jack]

Interesting view, i could imagine two old friends having an argument. The sentiment of the poem is very true, sometimes people change for the worst, or a friendship grows rusty, as both of you move in different directions. Good poem.

[Demure Penumbra]

Very good. I couldn't have said it better myself
