- (certainly not)-
partly inspired by real life...

Portrait
Of an artist
With his new
Girlfriend.

Paint him grey
He's not so
Young anymore
Not so
Hot, never been
Not so
Not.

Paint his apartment
Not so cool
Not the brown sofa
Not so clean
Dirty brown,
Not so.

Paint his mind
In shallow green,
Not so clear
Never been.
Words get stuck
Meanings dissolve
Paint it right,
Thin it down.

The artist,
"Abandonné".
Don't paint him black
That's what he'd like -
What he'd like to be -
But you know better
His color's rust.

Show
That the only ideas
He trusts
Come from you,
But he'd never admit it,
He lies, then
Paint him
backwards and
Upside down.

You see, the artist was
Rejected by his mother,
Not taken seriously
By his father,
Not even loved
By women -
Too strong
Too independent
Not willing
To put real beauty
between his idle hands -.

Don't forget
To choose
The fitting format
For your ex,
He'd love to be big
But he is just XS -
Not the size of his dreams -.


Portray the artist
With his young girlfriend
She's all he can afford,
Treat him gently,
He's so dependent
Not so strong,
Not.
