Love on her arms

i wish i’d known

i wish you would’ve told me

it wasn’t too terrible

i would’ve been there when you called

but you didn’t tell me

—

now your scars have grown closed

no blood trails stain your arms

but my heart still bleeds

every time i remember

your unspoken pain

—

i can’t undo your mistakes or mine

but the past doesn’t have to be the future

i promise i’ll fight alongside

and help you bear your lonely burdens

i wrote Love on my arms for you
