Tattooed Feelings

Tattooed feelings deep within the skin 
Branded for the foreseeable future 
The hashtag will remain long after your post is deleted 
The name, picture, and memory of your former lover are still imprinted
What started off as a sure thing--
turned into a jumbled confusion
The scar cannot be hidden, even though the tattoo is removed

A strong piece of writing Jaquay. Loved the opening line, and the closing line too.
