Page 1, A painter\'s woe.

I hope I don’t run into you
I’m just about done
Touching up all those discolored patches 
You left me with

I painted each stroke with such detail
Delicately, with pride
Only for you to spill primer all over 
This canvas and you knew it

Looking back as you walked away
Emotions melted together 
Colors running 
Like you from the situation
The masterpiece became a work of heart

Dripping with unapologetic mistake
