love poem

i want to write a song for you,
but the words just don't seem right.
phrases keep fighting in my mind,
a lover's quarrel i'm sure.

pen to paper, pen to paper,
crumpled, then gone. start again.
this is no writer's block;
i've been choking on half-chewed chords for days.

you've filled me up with emotion,
my mind is overflowing
with words i want to write
but i just can't find the words.

curse you, indescribable hope,
undeniable feeling, cryptic love.
be gone, once more,
so i can write again.
