when i met you

i used to feel creative, pumping out poems as steadily as oil from the ground

then i feel like the well dried up when i met you

they always say, be with someone who brings out the best in you

i thought my writing was one of the great parts of me yet i feel like it went away when i met you

it's like i had no words left to say

it's like i no longer needed an outlet for my feelings when i met you

my steady companion of poetry seemed to leave my side or maybe i left hers?

when i met you again i decided i wanted her back and hopefully she won't go away this time

Author's Notes/Comments: 

before i met my now husband, i wrote poetry alot, b/c i wasn't really sharing my feelings with anyone. i feel like once i had a companion i could be totally myself around and share my feelings with, the outlet of poetry wasn't as necessary anymore. which is good and bad i guess?
