For the Sake of Art

It's been said that

artists seek out heartbreak.

 

And that may be the case.

 

For how many beautiful

songs, poems, and paintings

have resulted from love lost.

 

It's a bit masochistic,

somewhat self-sabotaging.

 

We bleed for our work.

 

It's a sacrifice we make

for the sake of art.
