In shades of black and grey,
His blank eyes are staring at me.

I’m walking behind a girl
wearing a black halter top
and Bob Marley’s bust is tattooed on her back.
His dreadlocks reach out to her shoulders,
a smile dancing across his inked lips.

That had to hurt.
Seems kind of pointless too.
I wonder what she was thinking
while sitting in that chair for hours,
having the ink injected into her skin.

One day, when she’s old,
he won’t look like Bob Marley anymore.
His face will sag with her skin
and he’ll no longer be the famous singer,
but a wrinkled ghoul.

Yes, I really have seen a girl with a giant tattoo on her back and it was Bob Marley.

Doesn't quite work for me, but I like the idea... Maybe you could do a couple other versions... I dunno ^_^;; It's kinda cool anyway, but you know? As long as you like it though really ^_^ It's all good.

I think this is the third or fourth version of this poem...can't remember...it's gone through so many revisions and rewrites at this point. It needs more visual details but I can't seem to perfect it.
