The Art and The Artist

The art is always followed by the artist

Funny how pain can make anyone an artist 

And make any artist lose their love for the art 

Almost as if flowers weren't loved by the florist 

If it wasn't made for a broken heart

A broken heart the most beautiful experience 

Cause it's a heart that longs to feel

But it can't wait to earn resilience 

So the scars still remain even after you heal

Hate is an art so beautiful 

It brings a tsunami of pain 

And none of the efforts to escape it ever seem fruitful

But love trust me, no efforts are ever in vain

But art in this word has no place

Art may earn respect but can't pay bills

And i have no guarantee of food on the plate

Art will do me no good when i have to write my will

But art is the only way i express 

Now that's not say i feel depressed 

But i must somehow heal the wounds that you pressed

Art though so beautiful, can never compare to love

Cause once a person feels love, they can no longer be impressed
