I write my poetry
about the world around
me and the people too.
But when he comes to
mind the words don't
fall into place like I love
the way they do.
The thoughts come slow
and the words even slower.
He's on my mind and
nothing works. My brain
shuts down, my stomach
tightens, my feet go numb.
When he's on my mind.

I hate this feeling not
knowing what to write,
he's on my mind and I
cant get him out.
Why cant I do this!
It's not hard to write!
Love poems are easy!
So why does this hurt?
Nope!
I cant do this,
he's on my mind
and I cant get him out
