Sadly

it doesn't fit anymore

it is an old tune you sing

 

and though the new crowd
old and young
stop and listen to the song
in wonder

 

the one you sing to
has outgrown that number

sounds like me singing bubble gum to my friends, (my secret pleasure) and the people recognizing it and saying, she likes the songs we don't want to admit we like. that really happened. : )

Ah yes, I like! Very good W.M.

So is life... things come, things go... and the ones, who keep on listening, are the ones we sing for, or write for... wonderful, for me this is no pain, but a clever keen sight to what is real. Amazing words. Excellent poem.

Ouch! That stings a bit. You can't do the same thing and engage in the same behaviors over and over and expect change... The realization of outgrowing love that can't evolve with the changes in climate that life brings. Excellent.

I've felt this way about alot of things in my life and I have walked away from or changed most of them now. Sometimes sad to leave, but sadder to stay.

Few know what lies behind the one with the voice. Their thoughts may run somewhere way back in memory.

Good write. Great thought.
Well written.
