This is a poem I just had sitting around waiting around. So I want all of the reviews I can get. Don't be afraid to be harsh.

Change only happens gradually
But ours is happening rapidly
Things aren't the way they used to be
We've changed, you and me

I don't think it was for the best
It wasn't trick wasn't a trick, or was not a trick
But a trying test
I'm not going to love you
More nor less
Oh yes
Things have changed

Because now I can see on your face
That you were ready to replace
The things we've had
The trials we've aced
Things have certainly changed I like this stanza :)

You've lied to me
Never told the truth this sounds too similar to the first line. Maybe you could say something about 'honesty' since it rhymes with 'me' in the previous line? Just a thought.
This test has conjured
Up the proof you can't 'conjure' truth. maybe the test revealed truth, or confirmed truth.
I've found out
That the inner you the inner him? I'm not sure what this means
Has changed things
Between you and me

Yes, things will never be the same
Cause once you've lost
You don't want to play again to me, these last three lines feel kind of random, and the poem ends on a sort of flat note.


This is my favorite poem of yours so far! I'm still not a good reviewer with poetry, but hopefully I was able to help out. The only thing I felt a little jarring was the line about 'not going to love you' in the second stanza. At first, I imagined the poem was about the world changing in general, like it was progressing at such a fast rate that wasn't any good for anyone. But then you made it about a relationship, which I didn't see coming. That was the only problem I had, and I'm sure other people will not have a problem with it, so don't worry about it too much.
The bad news is we don't have any control.
The good news is we can't make any mistakes.

WOW, it's like you're inside of my head! I can so relate and i think a lot of people will, which is really important when you're writing. I loved the language and it flowed so well, it was so full of truth but didn't sound like you were preaching. Bravo, keep up the good work.

I could relate, it was very good topic and well expressed.
That you
Has changed things
Between you and me
You has changed things? Do you mean, you have? Also, I could find no rhyme scheme, but some lines DID rhyme, which bothered me. In my opinion, all of it should rhyme or none of it. But, that could just be one of my weird dislikes. I doubt anyone else would care... but who knows, maybe more people care and I'm not alone.
It was not a trick But a trying test
these were my favorite lines. :D Don't know why... Overall, good job!
