Tattoo

We spent 15 years together and, All I have is this stupid tattoo Wrecking balm can’t remove it 'Cause you inked me thoroughly We didn’t know it’d go there Capturing magic out of thin air I was trouble riding across the border You hid me away in short order Intoxicated with the future We charged out of the past You abruptly ended things with a cold stare Walking off without a care I gave my blood, sweat and tears Just to walk away like nothing happened They say time heals — But I still have is this stupid tattoo We spent 15 years together You can’t burn this thing off Deep dark hues tell our story With my soul as your canvas You’re permanently etched You’re forever, you’re eternal Growth from a wreck Artistry from a speck Unceremonious ending Heart wrenching Memories drenching Some goodbyes are uneven & forever…unfinished Yet all I have is this stupid tattoo
