Ink of Passion

Hello all, this will be my second contest, I'll leave the description short but sweet. This is for all the poets out there with tattoos or that plan to get one. I would like for you to write a poem about the reasoning behind your ink, Be sure to include what it actually is.

{ A Few things that might be Helpful}

~ I like rhyme ( non-rhyming is fine too)
~ Not a huge fan of formal writing but there's nothing wrong with it.
~ Don't like the emo thing, but if that's what your tattoo means/ the reason behind it. Give it a try.
~I LOVE passionate poetry... when the words that are used are so..perfect? you feel exactly what the writer does.

Angel of serenity

Constantly poised, for she wraps me in tranquillity,
she is peace of mind, for now they are surrounded in calm stillness,

Have you ever been broken down,
lost, alone, no one to turn to?
