Ink

i cut myself for you 
tattoos, stinging 
raw & real 
ink and blood
i saw you in the flood 
i hung on each word 
like a magazine 
all the dreams 
torn to smithereens 
crocodile tears 
saltwater fears 
i learned to swim 
over the years 
i couldn't breathe 
cause i was done 
no hand could heal 
the things that stung
wild animals 
i hang on tight 
i let them run
