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

Well, thank you so much!

I'm glad you appreciate the simplicity of my poem. I have tried in the past to use fancy words but I just feel like I lose me when I do...I guess I'm just not eloquent...lol..but hooray to everyone who is!lol

Today is the Tomorrow you were worrying about Yesterday. The journey of a lifetime begins with one single step. Negativity is the downfall of dreams. It's not the quantity of friends that matters it's the quality.

Oh I so agree! Some of the smaller poems on this site are the best...I think you sometimes lose the magic in a poem with too much length...but this truly is a great poem!

Wow,this is such a good piece!

The words all blend so well and the rhyme fits just right not too overbearing like some poems can be...

Even tho there isn't any eloquent words the poem isn't at all amature or cheesy. It is very beautifully written! 

Very well done I enjoyed reading your work!

I love this poem. It is so unique in how raw it is...you can feel the writers emotion as these thoughts filled her mind. I believe the first four lines are the best but how the last four mirror the first completes the poem and adds just the right twist. Amazing work bluemagnet22! You will go far!

Thank you so much:) I agree capturing the right flow is one of the hardest things...you can have a great idea or inspiration for a poem but if the flow it just doesn't go as well. But I am sure you are just under estamating urself!
