Ink

Sharp pain
Breathe through it
Another stab of the needle
Ink and blood mix
Dark stories told on skin
Of love lost
Of homes ruined
Of pain survived
A dragon on your shoulder
A snowflake on you wrist
A rose on your ankle
Every spot tells a story
The H behind you ear
The stars on you leg
The vines on you ribcage
Painful art
Scarlet and black
Silver and violet
Depicts innocent pictures
Hides a horrible past
The dragon hides scars from his beatings
The snowflake hides self destruction
The rose tells of a family broken
Hurtful memories
Swirled onto skin
