Art Fails

I draw like a kindergartener

                hopped up on birthday cake.

I don’t write music

                and can carry a tune to its grave.

I can’t paint or sculpt,

                nor create anything beautiful.

Except with my words

My lovely, loved words.

“write me a poem,

                use your pretty, pretty words.

Seduce me.”

And like Cyrano I did.

I crafted masterpieces

for you

Inspired by you

desired by you.

I painted pictures

                and sung songs

with words.

My pretty, pretty words

that worked to catch

                your attention

                and your heart.

Until they didn’t.
