Tattoo Sleeve of Names

I have these sleeve tattoos

Going up and down my arms.

You may not recognize them

As they are disguised to the human eye.

Bit by bit I've filled them in

With everyone's first names.

 

For everyone that's carved in me

I've experienced quite a lot of pain. 

For all the times you've lied to me

Smiling to my face.... 

I'd wish you done it through a text so I wouldn't have to hide the pain.

 

For all the times that you've ignored me to then come around and use me.

How do you remember me, when you have such better friends?

why every time you need something, you always turn to me?

 

I silently shade each letter in, crying from the brokenness within.

I swear that I will never let you use me, ignore me, forget me or abuse 

Me. No, not ever again!

 

I'm not writing this to seek your attention so leave your judgements at the door,

you closed minded individuals,

I feel like I'm dying here on the floor.

 

Take your selfish smiling face away from me,

Shove the lies and small talk up your ass,

I'm not looking to be used again...

 

I'd just appreciate a real friend.
