You were born an origanal why die a copy?The secret to success is the consistency to pursue.To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world.To receive the right answer,you must ask the right question.Don't worry be happy! :)

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 can relate to this. I had a boyfriend, and we were so close. We were sometimes best friends rather than boyfriend and girlfriend. He used to talk to me every chance he got, and his eyes did too sparkle. I broke up with him over the summer (long story). Last year, on my birthday, I was showered with gifts and his presence. This year, I never received a "happy birthday" or even a smile.

Very good sonnet and shows very good emotion.

But technically a sonnet has 10 syllables in each line and has 3 lots of 4 lines then the last stanza is only 2 lines.

Very good though, very well done to you.
