Tell Me

by Jenni Marie   Nov 21, 2006


Why do you test me this way?
Are you lying when you say we'll be okay?

Why did you deliberately make me hurt?
Are you just going to treat me like dirt?

I love you more than you'll ever know
But I can't take being hurt anymore.

You said it was a lesson you had to teach me
Why can't you just be honest with me?

Talk to me about the way you feel
Instead of playing games
I've had enough experiences to know
That playing games will only bring us pain.

I refuse to go through that again
To spend all of my days crying
I refuse to go through that again
Spending my nights feeling like I'm dying.

I wont play games with you
If you don't play games with me
I'm speaking the truth here
Boy you have to see.

Tell me why you did that to me
Tell me if you really love me
But if you're just playing
Tell me and set me free.

    The subtle repetition in this poem works really well. It's not overdone, but it enunciates your point well.

    The meaning is, again, expressed well. You seem to be very talented in that aspect especially.

    (5/5.)

    5/5. I felt so alike in this poem. I've been played many times. I've always read so many poems to see if they felt like I have. I guess you win at that. Your an amazing writer. And dont give up!

    This poem almost sounds like there is some anger in it. The only problem I found in it was with this line:

    I wont play games with you

    won't*

    Other than that It was great! You rhyming was kickin' and the flow was smooth.

    Awesome
    5/5
