A name that once

Meant everything,

Is now slowly

Fading.

 

Sitting on

My back,

It claims to be

Stronger,

When I look at it

In the mirror,

I feel the

Terror.

 

I’m reminded

Vividly of the

Memories that

Made me and

The person that

Abandoned me.

 

The days that

Snatched the

Tenderness from me,

And made it hard

For me to further

Trust anybody.

 

I was near to me

And yet distant;

A part of me

Embraced the ink,

And the other

Part of me

Wanted to

Repent.

 

Maybe one day,

I’ll be able

To look at it

In the eye

And say that,

You're just on

My skin,

I no longer feel you

From within.
