Loving you is Shading a tattoo Needles piercing already-open flesh Inking your presence onto me Permanent Vulnerable Covering it with a bandage So no one can see The blood seep out I want to give you the power to hurt me And trust that you won’t But as the needles pierce my flesh again and again I’m unsure if I still have skin Or if you peeled it away with the rest of me I miss you today

Tattoo Love
Loving you is Shading a tattoo Needles piercing already-open flesh Inking your presence onto me Permanent Vulnerable Covering it with a bandage So no one can see The blood seep out I want to give you the power to hurt me And trust that you won’t But as the needles pierce my flesh again and again I’m unsure if I still have skin Or if you peeled it away with the rest of me I miss you today
