I am not very good at a lot of things; I cannot paint you pictures

I am not very good
at a lot of things;

I cannot paint
you pictures
because the beautiful
things inside my head
cannot be translated.

Nor can I sing to you,
as my voice has an
uncanny habit of
falling flat.

Nor can I play for you
as my fingers fumble
when my thoughts
cross over to how
you look watching me

But I can brush the
knots out of your hair,
and work the knots
out of your back
when your day
has become too
much to bear

I am not good at much,
but I will be good to you.
