He left me
I wanted to paint him
as the bad guyso I used him as my muse
I was so focused
on what he did
until I looked at
what I didI made him feel bad
for everythingmaking him think
he wasn't good enough
for meI got so caught up in him
he handled all my bad moods
I thought he would never leaveuntil he did
and I realized a little too late
that when I wanted to paint the villainI should have been painting myself
