sharper needles – v2

with sharper needles

deep down within us

the tattoo, the scarring

written on hearts

ink on our souls

tearing us, ripping

our life in pieces

written in blood

deeper, deeper

exposing new flesh

virgin meat

for the needle, the knife

cutting into skin

deeper than that

words written, painful

permanent stuff
