Tattooed on my skin
Are the rose petals of my sins

The words written across my breast
Like the one under my chest
Are the ones that mean the most

The story I will never tell
Which was always in a shell
Is now inked on me
Revealing my deepest secrets
Dark as a black sea

My body
My own canvas
A personal way
To process

An Art
Like mine
So raw
Like fresh scars
As deep
As the pain in my chest

Tattooed on my skin
Are the rose petals of my sins

The story I will never tell
Which was always in a shell
Is now inked on me
So sad
Like a Willow tree
