iPhone

Let me compare you to my new iPhone.

You light up the room when you are near me,

Brighter than the flashlight could do alone,

And your voice is smooth, not choppy like Siri.

Static clouds every song I try to play

Speakers lack your music's velvet caress.

Even with this fancy HD display,

Your picture is blurred to match all the rest.

With you I'll always hold more memories

Than I can with this metal rose gold tint.

And for your lock, you've given me the keys;

You don't need a number or fingerprint.

Even if my charger breaks when I try,

Unlike this batt'ry, you will never die
