I was never much of a love poet until the day I met you.
Love poems always made me cringe until I met you.
Their rhymes always tasted like poison until I met you.
Until I met you a poem about love sounded like a story of prison.
A cell one could not escape.
Until I met you a love poem sounded like starving children.
A needy guest thriving off its host.
Just now that I've met you a poem without love is a poem lacking feelings.
Without you my poetry is bland.
An empty house only the poorest of visitors feel welcomed in.
My poetry without you feels useless.
It's as if it's not worth reading.
