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

Ya, it truly is such a horrible feeling when a friend changes and you're forced to walk away. Sadly, my advice for you is to not be his/her friend, be friendly and if she turns her life around 2nd,3rd,4th chances are always nice, but don't lose yourself trying to save em. Good luck to you n your friend...maybe things will work out;)
