Words written on my skin
Everything I've ever heard
              Your lies
          Her promises
             His jokes
           Their anger
My body is the stone tablet
    The palest parchment
Everyone's words the chisel
Dark prophecy inked into
          a l a b a s t e r
        Down my spine
       Across my wrists
    Drowning in my eyes
  Lungs drowning in them
Scorn, contempt, hate, anger
  Love, adoration, friendship
Displayed for the world to see
   Or for me to remember?
Song: Wordplay by Jason Mraz
