strangers left theirs upon my skin.
Covered with indelible cuts, gashes and stains,
my heart has been likewise mutilated,
blade to wood and needle to skin.
But here, pen to paper,
but here, I leave my own.

I love this. You state that it's from Gordon's POV, but in reality, Gordon is simply a part of you. So in truth, you're speaking from a part of yourself.
