Until I met you...

I was lost in a bottle of whiskey (in a bottle of whiskey)
Just drowning myself in my head
Should have smoked the cigarettes instead
But that was until, that was until... I met you
I was lost in my emotions
Popping the pills just to get to bed
Didn't know where to rest my dear, little head
But that was until, that was until... I met you
Didn't know that you were out there waiting for me
Didn't know I was blind, but now you made me see
'Cause I'm just a boy
And I'm just a girl
Trying to survive in this dull, cold world
But that was until, that was until... I met you
Thought I'd have to end this war on my own
Thought my last call would be on another dead-line phone
Didn't see myself on another person's arm
Didn't want to take the chance of me getting harmed
But that was until, that was until...
But that was until, you walked my way
When you went and took my breath away
(That was until) you caught my eye
No longer I'll be alone at night
(That was until) you spoke like art
Knew that you were 'the one' right from the start
That was until... yeah that was until
'Cause that was until, that was until... I met you

Wrote this for any person who's been infatuated for a tortured soul...

Beautiful poem! You address many issues that individuals go through, but that can be fixed by simply the love of another person. This poem reads very much like a song would. Have you thought about turning it into a song? It would be great if you made a video of this poem as a song and uploaded it to the site!
