PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You wanted us to paint

a masterpiece together,

a mural worthy of awe.



But I only spilled black

and white on our canvas,

in areas you’d colored in.



You stained heart hues

where melancholy and

jealousy tints dominated.



You thought you’d guide

my clumsy hands across,

transfer skill to inexperience.



But what we created-

A mash-up of shades-

fell short of expectations.



Unsatisfied, I peeled

paint chips off along

with my ideals of love.



We were just a public

spectacle, lies revealed

under superficial layers.
