I started out following the prompt by writing a list of things I wanted to learn, but stopped after the first thing I wrote down. Inspiration is tricky, I go with what works. I'm hoping to come back to the prompt later to write a proper how-to, but after I've had some sleep.
Liner Notes
I want to learn
How to play the piano
But you won’t teach me
A conflict of interest
Or so you say
I wonder what you’re so afraid of
I promise
If your hands should wander
From the keys
To my flesh
And I should find you
Impossible to resist
I’ll help you file away the regret
In the sheet music

'If your hands should wander/From the keys/To my flesh'. I like it. :) I stopped at the first thing I thought of too. I can' play the piano either. maybe I'll write a regret poem about it.

I'm intrigued by this poem. Why, I wonder, is it a conflict of interest? Hmm... Perhaps there won't be any regrets. One can hope. :)
