permanent

i have a tattoo between my breasts
inked there for a boy i once loved
long gone now though ink remains
forever there it taints
constant reminder
innocence fades
taunting me
my heart
caged

  1. Great poem and I love the image you’ve made out of it!
    I imagine quite a percentage of the population has a tattoo celebrating a long-gone lover. A permanent reminder, as your poem says.

    1. Thank you, Dr Ali! Yep, it is permanent,that’s for sure! Still finding a nice tattoo to append to it LOL maybe something in dwarvish or elvish,who knows…as long as it doesn’t cover my whole chest though 😀
