The Bare Canvas

Do you remember that night when I made you my canvas?
With me sitting on your bed and just your bare chest.

I had my eyeliner in my hand and I wanted to draw on you.
You laughed and refused to.

I insisted to draw across your warm skin.
But you didn't let me in.

It was 2:00 am and we were the only ones awake.
I was vulnerable to things I wanted to say.

But my hands and eyeliner wanted to tell you instead.
I ended up not writing on your bare canvas.

We went to bed and I can't stop thinking of the words I could've wrote.
"I love you, don't you know?"
