Miss I-Act-Like-Sylvia-Plath Just Killed My Cat

I don't believe it's 8 years
Could have been yesterday
I can't help but wonder
if you were right in front of me,
Would I know you today?
In turn, as the clock does
Who would you see?
If your gaze happened to rested upon
the unidentifiable me
Sad to say my dreams
at sweet sixteen haven't
quite panned out
the waterfall of my own ideals
are all but just a drought
I wade in new, dark and clear
waters today
and again, just like my 16 me
I doubt I'll from them stray
Curiosity brings me to this place
To see if you've still clung on
but I don't see you breathless, anywhere
Perhaps the closing curtains' finally drawn

Lovely, though I have to say

I enjoyed the title twice as much as the poem, and the poem was good! Cheers SS
