Then I met you

Kassey James Hoege 1967 (Madison, Wisconsin)



I felt I had no meaning,
     as if my life were through.
     I had nowhere to turn,
     and then I met you.

I pretended to be happy.
     and no one had a clue.
     Tears were my only friend,
     and then I met you,

I had lost my smile,
     and my spirit no longer flew.
     I thought they were gone forever,
     and then I met you.

Finding someone who cares,
     and  a love I know is true.
     Dreams I never thought possible,
     and then I met you.

About this poem

I was in a bad place in life when I wrote this. In fact, I had written about 60 or so. Each based on myself and things that I had either gone through or was going through. I hope people like my words, as strange as they may be,
