Brian

We took off all our clothes and you had his name tattooed on your right hip
With a glance towards your face I solftly dragged my fingers across the ink
You took a step away slid down and leaned against my wall
We both sat there as you shed tears for someone else on the floor

You asked me how I write love songs and if I've ever been in love
I said I imagine it and tried to ask you the same question
But you kissed me on the mouth so I could not speak
Looking back it's got me thinking what a clever move

But you never really wanted to be close to me
I've dragged my fingers across the ink
I've dragged my fingers below your eyes
To wipe away the tears to wipe away the tears

And now he's just a mark from the B to the N
There from the beginning right through until the end

Nice one - funnily enough I hear this as more of a song than a poem.

Cheers

Simple powerful language. The line "We both sat there as you shed tears for someone else on the floor" is powerful to me because of the three words at the end.

Still I can't help trying to guess your man's name...Ben? Brian? Bn? (just read the fecking title ignore that)
