tattooed on the inside – v3

more than a stencil,
a cloth, a skin
tattooed on the inside;
longer needles
ink on the heart;
deeper, deeper, with
pain in the cutting.

permanent scarring
to the soul, the canvas,
each chapter in life;
a story written
on pages, cut within,
written, deeper,
no repair to the skin.
