Literature Text

Every single night I read your scars
They tell me stories of your life
I read them slowly, discovering your world
Reopening old wounds, healing broken soul

You’re a stranger, looking for some peace
Craving for some love, longing for embrace
Needing of support, praying for the light
Asking for solace in the hands of the night

Sorrow is your lover, pain’s the only friend
No place to stay forever, you’re homeless all the way
Hope doesn't work and neither does belief
All your life  been running, looking for relief

Time won’t heal the scars you've gained but you will live
Pain won’t go away but in time you will forgive
Love won’t give you only joy but you will learn to feel
Life won’t be a happy fairytale but it will be with me
Well... Nothing new here. Sadly.

Well, this was a very engaging project and the emotion is in each line. The rhyme was couplets except for the opening, which was a good beginning. Your description of the other's life from what you saw was well-annotated and thorough. It could classify as human nature poetry too. The best was "sorrow is your lover, pain is the onky friend", although every line was well-written. Time may not heal but he will survive. I liked that touch too. This stanza was a bit scintillating. You prove to be a worthy poet. I await your next poem. Keep writing in this vein.
