Tattoo
by Markesia Bailey
Like dark to light
Death to birth
Opposites are attached
Attached like the ink I put on my skin
One day I might draw you in
Memories.
They never fade.
The ink of your love will never go away.
Each touch of the needle
numbs the pain.
The day,
like a stroke of the gun, will never be the same
Masterpiece finished.
Feelings remain hidden.
Hidden until someone asks,
why did you get that tat?
