be careful when you fall in love
with an artist
be it a pianist, a painter, or poet

for the pianist will
play through you
with heartbreak notes
and feelings which rhyme

paint you
with strokes and hues
in shapes of every kind

write about you
with the simplest words
and a secret message she wants to say

beware of the artist,
and her love
cause she thinks of you as art, too
and you are always in her display
