Ink settles deep
under the skin
A quiet map
of where we have been
No vibrant colors to fade or to lie
Just steady shapes
that catch the eye
The needle traces out the lines
Through all the shifts of changing times
Black and grey tattoos
Wearing stories that we choose Shaded memories on my arm
Keeping us safe from the storm
They never
fade away
Portraits of faces we used to hold near
Shaded in carbon to keep them right here
A permanent canvas of life in the dark
Every small detail leaving its mark
Black and grey tattoos
Wearing stories that we choose
Shaded memories on my arm
Keeping us safe from the storm
They never fade away
And even when the colors go
These shades remain to let us know
Who we were before
Black and grey
Here to stay (hummmm)
