You & Me

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.

I love this piece. I can really relate to it and it's awesome. I like how you compared the friend 'falling from your life' like leaves in the fall. Great comparison. I also liked how you used the same stanza at the beginning and the end of the poem except changed the ending words to fit you and how you haven't changed.

Amazing work. Sometimes....you have to see the world through their eyes & maybe you would understand. Amazing Poetry all the same.

I really like what you had to say about your friend it was very moving in a lot of ways. I think you should keep up the good work and never back down on what you want in life.
