´He taught at an art school

Fell in love with her

She was nice and intelligent,

 14 years younger

She fell madly in love with him

They had a baby daughter

She came from a bigot catholic family

Her own parents renounced her

A year later she was pregnant again

They were struggling

His pictures didn´t sell

He was weak and tuberculotic

And when he died

she jumped from 5th floor the next day

she couldn´t live without him

People´re paying tens of millions of dollars

for a single painting of his now´

I was explaining to my wife

´But your pictures aren´t nice.´

´That´s what people thought at his time,

but I don’t want to talk about my pictures

I´ve wanted to tell you a story of love and devotion´

´I wouldn´t jump´

´Of course´
