A Heart Inscribed

Here I am and there you are I'm etched on your life like a permanent scar In the shape of a rose or a heart or a feather I.m there in the blood,we are always together A tattoo from youth,worn under your sleeve reminding you ever of reasons to grieve read green and black,like the coils of a beast wrapped round your heart,there thru famine or feast Indelible days into firebranded nights, written in memories,seared in your sights but if lasers could peel off the imprint I've left my own selfish wishes would leave me bereft for I need to know I live on in your heart that not even dying can keep us apart.
