Til There Was You

I was haunted by the past with regret,
unable to leave my hideous dark nest;
striving to become the person I once was
Succumbed to life’s mystical twists and turns

No longer allured by beauty and love
and to believe upon the stars above,
the pain and anguish caused me to change;
I knew I would never again be the same

Indifferent I couldn’t laugh or cry,
awaking every morning wanting to die,
I felt contempt, bitterness, and disdain;
unsure how much longer I would maintain

In you came like a thief in the night,
you stole my heart upon first sight,
I saw the light within your eyes;
it was an unexpected and delightful surprise

Your essence beckoned to my soul,
now love within me rages beyond control,
I thought my existence was over, finished, through
Til there was you
