You are my Tattoo

Your breath was smoke against my neck

One touch and I was past regret

Your hands knew places words don't know

Slow like fire, low like snow

You left no name upon my skin

But somehow you're still written in

I showered twice, I changed the sheets

Still feel your rhythm underneath

No needle

No ink

No warning sign

Just your body crossing into mine

You're my tattoo

Under my skin

I don't have to touch you

To feel where you've been

Your fingerprints

Still burn like truth

I wear the memory

Of what you do

No black, no blue

Nothing they can see

But baby, you're a tattoo

All over me

Your voice still lives behind my ear

Low enough to pull me near

I close my eyes — you're in the room

Heat and shadow, skin and perfume

I shouldn't want another taste

But some addictions leave no trace

Except the way my body knows

Exactly where your memory goes

No needle

No ink

No alibi

Just one night that never learned to die

You're my tattoo

Under my skin

I don't have to touch you

To feel where you've been

Your fingerprints

Still burn like truth

I wear the memory

Of what you do

No black, no blue

Nothing they can see

But baby, you're a tattoo

All over me

Maybe time could wash away

The taste, the heat, the things we'd say

But every time the lights go low

My body remembers what my mind lets go

You're my tattoo

Deep in my veins

Pleasure has a memory

And mine knows your name

No photograph

No proof, no clue

Just every inch of me

Remembering you

No black, no blue

Nothing they can see

But baby, you're a tattoo

All over me
