A Memory Written on Flesh

A scar you left on me,
Not on my heart but on the skin to see.
A mark of the past, a mark of disgust.

If I could go back to that night you took me home,
I would have walked alone.
If I could go back to July 20th,
I would have changed the date to the 32nd.

The 43 miles between us now feel like a million,
No longer will I travel on interstate 664 towards Hampton.
We are strangers now, but lovers in August.

Remember how you were the Jack to my Sally?
Well now you're the Vincent to my Emily, "I love you, but you're not mine."
You're a Fantasia boy, I'm a Haze girl.
You're a gamer, I'm a raver.
You're tatted, I'm pierced.

If I could go back to December 12th, 2012,
I wouldn't have even opened your message.
You are poisonous, and I've finally found the antidote.
