Permanence

I like to draw in sharpie on my arm

its like a tattoo, which at my house is taboo, but I don't think it does any harm

supposedly permanent, it stay there,

until I wash it off, it goes somewhere,

down the drain a reminder that nothing lasts forever even though to label clearly states "permanent", it never is

it leaves me to wonder, have we changed the meaning of forever? love fades away,

and people die everyday

and even Sharpie doesn't stay

so what is permanent?
