Love Tattoo

Some relationships in life are like tattoos.
You know it will hurt
But you show up regardless
And you let them stick that needle deep into your skin
And as you watch the mixture of blood and ink seamlessly blend into your eventual depression
You sigh, close your eyes and let go.
That bittersweet pain fades like the love you once felt.
But that ink remains to show the world what you can withstand.
