My Soul's Tattoo

I don't know what I am feeling,
The pain in my heart tells me sadness,
The fire in my soul tells me anger,
And the shaking of my hands tells me fear.

Tossing in a storm of unclear emotions,
I am seasick from the waves of confusion.
I want to make things right,
But I'm not sure what right is.

The sadness flares up,
Are we meant to be?
The anger burns hotter,
Why do you not care?

And the fear consumes me,
Will you leave me?
A single tear now falls,
A tear for this overwhelming.

I am sick; seasick.
I am sick of your hurtful words
I am sick of this, the fighting
I am sick of being scared you'd leave me

Or that I should leave.

Do not doubt my love for you.
It is the very blood in my veins.
How could I live without you?
You are apart of me now.

You are my soul's tattoo.
Forever marked upon my heart,
I will carry you with me where I go.
You've won the fight.
