ramblings and tattoos

[wild_dreamer]

I said
“I wanna see you thrive,
Not just survive”
And something between us died

The monsters in our heads
Got the best of us and
Came between forever and today

Questions left unanswered
Messages unread
A cry for help still sinking
Left unsaid

Mama didn’t raise no quitter
So I don’t know when to cut my losses
Cut you loose
Stitch up this hole in my heart
And move on

Half a tattoo
Inked by hand
A reminder of what
we could have had

This permanent ache
Left behind
In the wake
Of your fleeting
Drunken
Love
