Dear Ex (First Love),
You have my name etched on your flesh, embossed in CAPITAL Letters that will remain as badges to your broken heart. I wonder what your wife thinks about them.
Or if in the future when your daughter would ask you what ALEX means and why the name is written on your heart, what would you tell her then?
"Dear Daddy, why do you have your ex-lover's name embossed in your skin? Why not mine? Why not mine? Why did you not wait and made her more permanent than I?"
Of course, you could always get a tattoo. But scars are more permenent than ink.
for everyone to see,
other people's shits,
open letter
