Okay, it's been brought to my attention by silvereve and Rachel that my banner blurb seems a little harsh and, looking at it again, I agree.
Sooooo, I'm opening up to any suggestions of what it might say instead.
I know it's sappy and it's Poison but here is the song that spawned the idea.
==========================================================
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
-Poison
We both lie silently still in the
dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it somethin' I said or somethin' I did
Did my words not come out right
Tho' I tried not to hurt you
Tho' I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has it's dawn
Just like every cowboy sings a sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yea it does
I listen to your favorite song
playin' on the radio
Hear the DJ say love's a game of
Easy come and easy go
But I wonder does he know
Has it ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like the knife that cuts you
The wound heals, but the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved our love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of making love
We both made our separate ways
Now I hear you've found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife
=====================================================
I know having this tattoo will give me closure and, on a good note, remind me of a time when I was completely lost in love and that I am still capable of being lost in love again (which is kind of where I'm at, to my surprise- I love you Rachel!!!!).
So suggest away!

Let's see if you get this reference SID. You should either tattoo "Alabama" or "Clarence"
Imagine if you were a woman interested in this hot guy and she see's a tattoo of a broken heart stitched together with wings and key going through the middle. What would you think?
My first impression. Bitter, heartbroken and looking for rebound. It's harsh. Sorry.
I think you should draw upon another symbol,
one of strength and rebirth. Something of empowerment.
I will secretly listen to Poison when driving in the car, but this is what I listen to when I need a little extra:
. It's from the band Lush and it's titled ciao!

I've been so happy since I walked away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a big mistake
And life is wonderful, now that I'm rid of you
Oh I must've been crazy to have stayed with you
I can't believe I thought I was in love with you
But now the scales have fallen I can really see
And I say go to hell, 'cause thats where you took me
(E. Andersen)
Well, I've felt better since I slammed that door
You always cramped my style, I never noticed before
It's been a non-stop party since I flew the coop
I can't believe I fell for such a loser like you
And is it any wonder that I felt so blue
When I was always having to put up with you
Oh, here we go again, just lay the blame on me
Don't say another word, 'cause sweetheart, you're history
I know that you miss me really, bet you wish that you still had me
You'll never find someone like me but I've got no regrets at all
'Cause I've met this girl and she's so good to me
She's really beautiful, fantastic company
Oh, when I'm with her I realise what love can be
'Cause she's fifty times the person you will ever be
Good luck, mister, do you think I care?
Since you've been gone the offers have been everywhere
I've got a million guys just lining up for me
I've turned a corner, boy, my life is ecstasy
Well, I've been in heaven since I walk away
I never thought that I could feel as great as I do today
'Cause you were nothing but a waste of space
And life is wonderful now that I'm over you
This song gives me a swift kick in the ass when I need one.
