Bare skin and tattoos
That's all you are to me
Maybe you should mean more
But you don't
Maybe I should love you
But I don't
Bare skin and tattoos
That's all I know you as
Maybe you should apologize
But you don't
Maybe I should give a damn
But I don't
Bare skin and tattoos
That's all that you can be
Maybe you should learn to live
But you don't
Maybe I should forget you
But I did.

like mary said....

this almost reads more like it would like to be lyrics rather than poetry-
the repetitive parts do not bode well in a poetry format- but make the crossover to lyrics very easily!
good luck in your writing- keep it up!
