Dear Sunshine,

you're so disappointing
i thought maybe this time
would be different
that you would fight for me
that you would tell me
i'm making a huge mistake.

i said i would always be there
always be your joy
and when i look in the mirror
i'm reminded how much i loved you

sometimes i wonder
if the other boys wonder
what the tattoo means
if they asked,
i would just say
it's the mark of failure
the mark of a failed love
they'll just shrug
and move along
they'll be gone in a week anyway.

i don't regret it
you that is
i don't regret loving you
i don't regret trying so hard
i don't regret remembering
everyday it gets a little easier to move on
but i always want to keep your memory close

this makes no sense
i'm so confused
i have no idea
why i'm writing this
it won't change a f*****g thing.
