I have many tattoos,
yes I do.
I have many tattoos,
showing my life.
My first is placed upon my back,
a lotus and halo,
to show me growing up,
without a dad,
while he looks after me from above.
My second is placed under,
my collar bone,
the word 'Mermaid' written.
That was his nickname for me,
his only daughter.
My third is a mermaid upon my ribs,
showing my love of water,
and what dwells within.
My forth is XO placed in secret,
to remind myself,
No matter what pain I suffer,
I shall love until I overdose on it.
My fifth is a heart,
with a pair if wings,
and horns.
This shows how my love can go from,
sweet and kind,
to evil and cruel.
My sixth is a secret only one,
man knows and I cherish it,
with my heart and my entire soul.
Tattoos mark us,
tattoos tell our stories.
I'm proud of mines,
and I'll never take them away.
