I painted a picture
A picture for you
With elegant colors
The perfect stroke
My paintbrush
Painted itself
My emotions
Drew it all out
Patience
As I take time
With each line
The shape of your face
Seeping into the canvas
The perfect picture
In my mind
As I get closer to
The finish line
My patience become
Unnoticeable
I forget to go slow
And my lines become
Scribbles and
It doesn't look like you anymore
I spent hours
Driving myself insane
Hoping it would be perfect
When I put it into your hands
Now you'll never see it
And I wasted time again
Trying to paint the perfect picture
The perfect picture for you.
