´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´
