You Bore Me
You bore me.
I wish it were not true
but you do.
You talk about things
that five years ago
gave me wings
but now throw
me from this
well worn window.
You haven't changed
or grown, meanwhile
I have forraged, flourished,
flown and now somehow
though somewhat
sadly known -
you bore me.

Short and punchy, with a lot packed into a few words. 'You bore me' is probably the deadliest sentence one can ever say to a 'friend/lover'. Far worse than 'I don't love/like you anymore.'
Plus it is skillfully crafted.
