staying awake

it's 2AM in the morning

still drinking my 4th cup of

tea, i'm staying awake

i shroved myself off

in front of my brown

desk, looking for my

pencils and papers

not knowing that

my pencils are all broken

and my lines have swerved

until the comforting image

melts away under the effort

of my attempting to capture

the crinkle by your eye, the

twinkle in the top right of your iris

and i am left with the messy

paer that holds no picture

but the failure of not being 

the one able to accurately 

capture the essence of my muse
