I saw you today,
But you're not as I remember.
Your eyes no longer sparkle,
You've changed since last September.

You were so full of life,
Yet now you are so cold.
Your personality has tarnished,
When you once had a heart of gold.

You fell out of my life,
Just like leaves in the fall.
We were so very close,
Now you're not here at all.

You saw me today,
I'm the same as you remember.
My eyes still sparkle,
I've not changed since last September.

© Stephanie F., Garnerville, NY

Isn't it so sad when you see an old friend and their whole personality and outlook on life has changed...and not for the good. Well that's what inspired me for this poem...I hope you enjoyed it

There's probably a reason
they haven't seen you/
since last September
There's something about you they/
don't want to remember.

I'm done.

Thank you for ur compliment even tho i think some of your other comments are uncalled for...if u want to bash someone take it else where...my poems are meant to encourage others n ur negative comments kind of kill that so if you don't have anything nice to say...please don't say anything at all...

I can't really say that I can relate to this because most of my friends have stayed the same, however it was still a great poem and therefore, I loved it. Great job! Keep writing!

 I am not trying to be rude or anything. I just think this poem is such a cliche. A lot of my friends really like it, so I have read it a couple times. I don't think it really is that powerful. I'm sorry. Maybe I should read some of your other work.
