Will You Be? I Think Not.

1. I know you won't, you know I will,
But you don't know what I
Can do, and you're so sorry that I
Won't give, and I won't live, and I
Won't be there to submit to your will.

2. I've heard some things about you,
But I don't know what to think,
I know that you can think,
Will you tell me what to think?
I know I don't know what to know about you.

3. There are sometimes people to be,
And sometimes people to not,
I think that what you love is not,
It's complicated when it's not,
Think it over, what not to be.

Weird one
Style is:

First line, last line have common last words,
middle three lines have a common last word,
The words must have been featured somewhere in the stanza previous,
And the product of these last words must turn into a sensible title.

COINED: The Ellis Sestina! It shouldn't be called an Ellis Sestina, because the stanzas have *five* lines, but whatever. It has a similarity to Sestinas.=)
