blue on my skin MAG
December 10, 2012
i touch the pen
to my forearm
and a flower blooms
so blue against
my tan skin
like the dark indigo
of the pristine ocean
next is a word
scrawled handwriting
traced on my ankle
beautiful, meaningless
and empty
she asks me
why do you draw
on your arms
and write such
strange words
and i don't
tell her
that it's better
for the blue
to be on my skin
for the world to see
than inside
some deep emotion
hidden in my heart

Thanks for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed my writing. :) But I'm a little confused... did you mean to comment on my other story? The Meteorite In My Library?
