He left me

I wanted to paint him
as the bad guy

so I used him as my muse

I was so focused
on what he did
until I looked at
what I did

I made him feel bad
for everything

making him think
he wasn't good enough
for me

I got so caught up in him

he handled all my bad moods
I thought he would never leave

until he did

and I realized a little too late
that when I wanted to paint the villain

I should have been painting myself
