You took a permanent marker to my heart,
Scribbled your name like I was property.
You wrote lines in my mind,
Professing your fears and dreams.
Words so black and bold,
Reminding me of all my beauty.
You underlined everything I'm afraid of,
And blacked out all my sad memories.
You quoted my thoughts on love and life,
Highlighting your favorite parts.
You circled all my deepest opinions,
To bookmark them for a later date.
You left bullet points full of reasons,
Why you take my breath away.
You numbered my favorite words of wisdom
Just so you would always remember them.
You took a permanent marker to my heart,
And there in bold black ink, forever left your mark.
