Into My Skin.

This didn't last long.

Into My Skin.

I want to ran my hands over every single tattoo you have.

Creating my own map from the first to the last.

Tell me about all of them, their stories and why they are on your skin.

My finger tips will trail along as your words slow.

Don't stop talking while my mind runs wild.

I want to commit them to memory right here in this one moment.

This could possibly be the beginning of something great.

Or maybe it is just this one occasion we get.

None of it matters while my walls come tumbling down.

Let's enjoy this time we get with each other.

Take your hands and trace yourself into my skin.

Going over my tattoos, marks, and scars, I will tell you everything.

I see the world a little differently than most. Even at a young age I was writing down what I saw but never sharing it with a soul until now. I'm choosing love over fear.

    I understand where you coming from. I have written all my life and other than singing I can't articulate my emotions very well in relationships. I trust my writing, I lean on it to get through life. Just keep doing what you are doing. You only will get better and braver. I loved the nakedness of this piece. Such vulnerability shown. Bravo 👌
