Really, but not Really

You are the girl in love with an artist

Or maybe

You love him and he doesn’t return that feeling

 

Because he is still in love with the girl who’s heart he broke

You are trying to fix a man who does nothing but break other people

And he will hold you in his hands like palettes and paint brushes 

He will paint the love of his life on you in the same fashion he creates strokes on his canvases

His love for her will be staring back at you in the middle of your hallways at 2 am while you are getting water after a heated paint session 

And you will know that you cannot satiate his lust because you are not his modern day Mona Lisa 

His hands will be covered in paint, just as his lies are covered in sugar

And your mother told you to never sugar coat anything, but here you are on a Sunday morning lying to your family about how in love you two are 

He is an artist and you are a writer

And you’d think that’d be a match made in heaven 

Yet he obsesses over a dancer who now belongs to the world instead of a man who continuously tries to capture her in every image he creates 

To him you are canvas, fresh and new 

But she is his favorite shades of purple and blue

Her eyes are always blank in every photo because that’s the only expression he remembers her having 

And he will splatter orange and red on you

Soon you’ll be purple

Black and blue too
