Honestly, honesty for what?
If there’s someone else
that you make love to
and when you look at them
you’re wishing it were me…
stop it.
Time to live honestly.
If there’s someone else you think about
when we’re kissing passionately
change course
set me free.
Now’s the time for honesty –
do you love them
or do you love me?
And if I’m not the one you long for
just be honest.
Don’t let me be a filler
cause I’m filling my time too
when all I really want is you.

L'amour et Psyche by Francois Edouard Picot, 1817, tells the story of Cupid and Psyche. In the Greek mythological story, Cupid would leave every morning before Psyche woke from her sleep. Psyche's outstretched arm shows the space where Cupid would have been sleeping, however he leaves her in the morning. A great depiction of the complexities of love, status and family. "The angel looks back at the sleeping beauty with a goodbye glance– the older cupid teaching us that love, if anything, is fleeting, and you never know when you’ll wake up and your arm will be outstretched around nothing."
