Writer's Block

I started to write a poem about love,
But it only ended in heartbreak.
I wanted to think it was all a dream,
But I knew a nightmare had taken place.
I wanted the poem to make me laugh,
But it only made me cry.
I wanted it to fill me with happy thoughts,
But instead I wanted to die.
I wanted to write a love poem so that I could forget,
But it only made me remember more the things I now regret.
