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.

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

I love this poem, I remember reading it this summer. I can't believe it hasn't been published. It speaks to so many people. It deserves to be in print.

You need to move this to a new section, it's not a sonnet at all. Your poem has twelve lines and no metre.

this is great!  people can definitely change right before your eyes.  It really hurts when people change and they dont even realize it, no matter how many times you tell them to change back.

I love this so much... It is so true though, that other people can change so much, but you might not.
