Inked

Did you know that missing you
Would draw heartache
Down through my veins
Opening them to bleed out
An ink that writes you down
To always belong to me

Did you know that loving you
Would send me to the
Darkest recess of my mind
And I would never find my way back
And the map of words on my skin
Would seep through and poison me

Did you know that loving me
Would make you wish you had
Never met me
