like every inked impressions
chiseled into my brown skin
they kept refusing to blot out
i bleached it
with searing hatred
I never knew it would be only darkening
the imprint of our memories
I again bleached it
by layering resentment
over the raw scars
never knew this ink would be engraved
even more deeper
my skin now a vibrant souvenir
of memories of yours that lingers
will be etched now forever.
