Artist in disguise

She's an artist in disguise
Painting over the truth with her lies
A dab of love here
A touch of jealousy there
This will be her greatest creation
Breaking a heart with no intuition
It's a masterpiece she doesn't know
But one day she'll see in her lows
She'll start to paint a different picture
And try to stitch her lost lover
Back into her heart
She gazes at the broken art
Not realizing what she has done
Never knowing she used to be his sun
The ones she drew the one she pictured
With his words he didn't lecture
But he painted a beautiful reality
The only one he wished to be
He was a creator of beauty
With all he could see
His words created wonders
That left her blundering
At how she could be so blind
He had put his words in line
But she had hooked him and wouldn't let go
So he waits in sorrow
Hoping for a better tomorrow
He realize letting go
Isn't loss of hope
But an even firmer grip on a rope
That is reality
And all he had wished to be
