Always The Artist

Always the artist, never the muse.
Amused to think I was.

Always the poet, never the poem.
Poetic injustice he says.

Always the performance, never the audience.
Best act they say.

Always giving of myself, too scared to take what would only be fair.
Fair enough to be a glance.

Loving to deeply to see when it'll crash back on me, but to focused on the crash to look away.

I'm always the artist and never the muse.
