Ink

Your words seep into my skin.

No, not seep.

You tattooed them into my skin with your ink.

The ink that will never go away no matter how hard I try.

Your words hurt me more than anything I’ve ever felt before.

You’re supposed to be the one that has my back against everyone else.

You are me, and I am you. We’ve been together since day 1,

Learning and growing and never apart,

But there are days that I just wish I could cut you out of my head and leave you behind.

Leave you and your poisoned words behind me, and be who I always wanted to be.
