I Used To Know You

You are so different 

When I know you

You made me calm 

When I saw you

This is all different for me

To make you feel

what I can feel

You are so different from others

But you are all the same like me

We used to play

We used to talk

We used to fight

We do all the things 

that are worthwhile

Now,You are all changed

Don't know why

Now,I see you as an image

in my dreams

I used to know you from the start

But now I blame myself for knowing 

you that far

I used to know you my dear. . .

Good write , but I would have preferred a bit more structure in this , I really think that would bring out the punch ..

My favorite lines :

I used to know you from the start
But now I blame myself for knowing
you that far

...

this I feel is the centerpiece .. sometimes I feel as if a poem is centered around one single line or stanza of expression and the whole poem centers round it to fit itself to its expression .

There is one mistake at the start :

You make me calm
When I saw you

will be

You made me calm
When I saw you

It should begin, "You WERE so different when I KNEW you.' That way, it is parallel to your next line, which is in past-tense. Also, there's a line that should be 'we DID all the things that WERE worthwhile.' It would read much, much better that way.

Yes, people do change over time, and relationships end if the two people are suddenly moving in different directions, and wanting different things.

good one ... clear and easy words make an emotive work ;)

great work...reminds of a piece i wrote - "Butterfly"
everyone knows the feeling- relationships, friendships, and all else under the sky will eventually obey the rule of all things - they begin, and then they end.

people change. sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. sometimes we have to let go of the things that are no longer good for us

wow this is fabulous, and i was hurt this time, and this poem suits me, i love it, like the way i love the every stanza in the poem..

A cry of personal puzzlement. In the end it is a poem that the reader either relates to, or does not. The reader would have to search around one's own acquaintances, lost friends, realtives to find someone who fits. Or, one would be looking at a close friend or relalive and be realising that he/she has changed. You are in touch with something here, but I think you need to take this as the inspirational part and craft it to its full potential.

Good work. Its sad when friendships turn out that way. Nicely written. Could use a little brushing up on the grammar end of it, but other than that its great. :)

I know people like this. People who I thought I knew and could trust, but we grew apart and I wish I hadn't told them so much...
