Temporary tattoo

Oh, how I don’t miss you

Your non-permanence became a virtue

Poor quality ink and glue

---

Your design was so right

Pressed up against my skin

And as long as I took care of you

Your poison leeched in

---

At first, we were symbiotic

Then I exposed you to the light

You caused a painful reaction

You were more like a parasite

---

It was time to scrub you away

the damage was too much to bear

You faded away quickly

But were you ever really there?

---

The alcohol ruined you

And it gradually ruined us

You’re no longer a part of me

You need help, and thus:

---

Temporary tattoo

My body rejected you

Now I have the real thing

Love, happiness, and truth

Thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart for all of your support!
