Writer's Block

I’ve laid here for hours
trying to write about love
trying to write about you.
There are too many images,
they’re all fighting
trying to get out.
The battle’s so intense
both sides equally matched
pushing at each other
for their chance
to get out on the paper
in ink.
But instead,
I’ve got this blank page
empty lines just waiting
for the war to be over
so I can get you out of my system.
