Indelibleness

An indelible tattoo of Mary Faintly graces my upper left arm. I loved her but we never married, Our love lost its meaningful charm. So long! To the faded memories Those years of yore all but disappeared; Bygone are the glints of yesterdays As I gaze at the scar once revered: Abated colors now take the place Where once her name etched brilliantly: M-A-R-Y inked in upper case Is now lost unrecognizably. As long as this mark’s a part of me Mary remains in my reveries.
