A.R.P.

Physically,

you aren't here.

Mentally, 

you never leave. 

i am safer with you around

even though you're only in my mind.

i write your name on my wrist

the black ink staining my skin

it's my protection, 

my barrier

from the horrid world.

My safety,

my wall,

from anything that will hurt me.

i trace your name with my finger

relaxing as i picture your face.

you're a part of me,

even as just a mark on my wrist.

am i a part of you too?

as a little sharpie tattoo?

your name is my comfort

your gaze my fire

your touch my passion

your words my heart.

do you feel the same way?

even when im not around?

do you daydream of me?

worry about me?

am i stained in your skin

like a glorious sharpie tattoo?

You run through my mind 

Like it's a treadmill 

The thought of you keeps me sane 

Keeps me going 

Through the day 

And into the night 

 

When the sun sets 

And the moon rises 

That’s our time 

That’s when I get you 

The stress of the day 

Melts away 

And you're there 

Waiting for me. 

When the world is sleeping, 

We're awake 

Because we have each other 

And nothing can break us 

Nothing can take you away from me 

 

Your name on my skin 

Is a reminder you're here 

You're part of me now 

I can't wash you away 

With a bit of soap 

I can't erase you 

Or delete you from my heart 

I can't forget you 

Even if I tried
