Error of Shame

I found myself writing her name on a rock 
With hope that no one will remove it 
I found myself going thru all memories we shared 
With faith that she will  forever be my love
I found my body shaking just thinking about her 
With butterflies there and there  
I found out a day later that the name i wrote had spelling errors 
I thought i said my one and only 
Only to find out i actually wrote ONLY ME
The rock remained with my error
I with shame and tears 
As hard as i tried to convince myself the spelling was right 
What i was reading in my own art and reading was ONLY ME 
Tears rolling in the palm of my hand
Art and shame is all left for me to read
Each time i passed the Rock i wished rain and storm can erase the error 
The only thing i found was it was creating a green layer  
Made my error look  bigger for everyone passing to see
