I sit in this chair
I give you my skin
As a canvas
Cover me in the brightest colors
the colors of the rainbow
Write her name
In beautiful calligraphy
above the clouds
Sink the needle in deeper
Make me bear the pain she once did
Wipe away the blood
let me feel the burn of the alcohol
Bring tears to my eyes
Bring meaning to my body
Bring life back to her
Through this tattoo!

Nice
I'm so glad to inspire.
One thing I would say is don't use rainbow twice. Dig deep, find a new image to share this scene with us.
Keep on writing, love!! -
