tattooed whispers under a midnight sun

my soul has a bruised structure

that's centered somewhere under the tissue

breathing and exhaling air with carbonated fumes

trying to extract all the lifetimes

that they let me stay with you

humming a melody that's settled into my bones

imprinted with a tattoo

that's branded so deeply into these ribs

if you let me paint you over my skin

then the black ink

would spill out the letters of your name

letter by letter marking my path

to you
