Tattoo

First two lines from Jordan Sparks's song Tattoo.

"No matter what you say about love"

"You keep coming back for more,"

And you've got the marks to prove

You still want to be in love,

Each tattoo is a timeline of your past,

A pertinent   memory

That reminds you of how far you've come

In your life,

A symbol of who you are

Or who you use to be

A tattoo that holds the Key to 

Love, joy and happiness

A very lovely write. You penned this well.

"No matter what you say about love"

"You keep coming back for more,"

And you've got the marks to prove

You still want to be in love,

What an excellent way to begin this poem. You nailed it.Excellent poem.

very very very nice i like it, we have scars, or tattoos as you put it on past heartbreak and no matter how hard we try we can never put our hearts back perfectly again.

Perfect first few lines - i can think of no better way to plhrase it, and I love the strong emotions behind this. Great work :)

This is beautiful and relatable.
Poetry and tattoos = two of my favourite things lol. (I have 7 tattoos myself, so this poem caught my attention from the title)
Great write!

This is wonderfully written, and so true.

I can find amazing truth behind your words. They convey a personal message I think everyone can somehow connect with.

The tattoos allow us to become wiser and smarter in the emotion of love. I like the way you made your point in this poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.
