Literature Text

Why is time spent on tears?
This nagging sensation
will draw the blade home.
Silence was never golden
serenity is a crimson stream.
Memory, once only skin deep
finds shelter somewhere deeper
concealed under scar tissue.
Hide with fear of love and scalpel
an everyday stare to hide the truth.
Not all wounds are physical;
Not all pain can be forgiven.
This is not autobiographical so don't worry. I am in the Halloween spirit and am feeling like writing some darker stuff.

I like the question near the beginning - sets the tone and addresses the reader immediately with a kind of riddle /perspective.

Strong at the end as well with the repeated negative.
