My Ruin

Scars

My Ruin


I have scars on my body 
From using myself 
Abusing myself 
In sickness and in health 
I have bruises on my body 
Which go away with time but remain in my mind forever 
As a constant reminder of the last man I loved 
Loathed 
Left 

I have the word 'truth' on my arm 
Because there is no room for honesty when you're a liar 
I have a tattoo on the back of my neck which I cannot see 
But I can feel 
But I can feel 
But I can 
I have a tattoo on my stomach which in italian means 'the sweet life' 
I have the word 'love' in flames surrounded by stars on my right wrist 

Because these five fingers go straight into the soul of man 
I have the word 'hate' on my left wrist because the left hand is the hand of hate 
And it was with this hand that Cain knifed his brother 
I'm right handed 
Maybe that's my problem 
My ruin
