Permanent Reminder

I'm sick of looking at my wrist and seeing your words, your handwriting
Three simple words
A beautiful lie
An ugly reminder of you
I want to carve it from my skin
Drag my nails through soft flesh
Rubbies dotting the wounds
Until the words are no longer recognizable
I want to rip you away from me
My beating heart tearing free of my ribcage
Following your footsteps like a loyal companion,
A lost puppy
As my vision becomes unfocused
I'll cut it from my chest
I will continue to carve you from my body
And hopefully soon
My mind
