Tattoo

My beloved, you were right
You're gone and now I understand your saying
"I don't own you, you don't own me
baby, we're at peace."

You used to tell me
"Life is a game,
nothing is forever, enjoy while you can."

I was in a hurry, looking for answers
I would run blindly and fall while I walked.

Now I walk at night
with your absense besides me.
A goodbye that never seems to end.
To live is to say goodbye, my love.
Death can't stop me from hearing your voice.
You're not a memory, you live in me.

I have tattooed your name on me,
a red rose and a dagger.
I have you on my chest.
Love we are at peace.
