So, here's yet another 5 minute poem. It could use a lot of help, so please comment with your suggestions!

I asked you not to say those words.
They do not bode me well.
I asked you not to tell me that,
It removes my protective shell.

Please don’t say those words again,
For I do not understand.
I cannot fight what I cannot learn,
Or for what I have not planned.

Take back that thing you said to me,
You know of what I speak.
Take it back before I break,
And wind up six feet deep.

Do you know what it means?
To say the things you do….
Do you understand the weight,
You’ve put upon us two?

You know I want to say it back,
I know you know I do,
But as my life-time enemy,
I cannot say I love you.
A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.~Groucho Marx

I have a passion for all things literary, and I love to review the work of others :). PM me with a link and I'd love to review for you too!

i'm not a very good person to make suggestions (this is better that most of what I write :)). But I really like it and I think it's the perfect legnth. I also has a good rhyme schem and the ending ties it up perfectly!

Sorry I could see no improvements (at the moment),

think that you poem is also pretty good. I don't really think it needs any improvement and you should not doubt your writing abilities. I like that this poem has a theme and a rhyme scheme that it carries till the end.
Keep writing.

Why should Caesar just get to stomp around like a giant while the rest of us try not to get smushed under his big feet? Brutus is just as cute as Caesar, right? Brutus is just as smart as Caesar, people totally like Brutus just as much as they like Caesar, and when did it become okay for one person to be the boss of everybody because that's not what Rome is about! We should totally just stab Caesar!
