Portrait

There are people I once knew
Sketching unexpected stories behind the portrait I drew
I'd like to erase them for it's not necessary
And all I could say is sorry
But before I do,
I looked at it once more
I no longer see a simple portrait
but a higher form of art-- expensive; no one can afford.
