Beneath the Surface

Wish you could know, it's profound to see.
The secrets, the pain, that's all you can read?

In the darkest of night, what do you perceive?
The remnants of a man, destroyed for the thrill?
The scars of a father unable to heal?

You look in my eyes and I know not what you see.
Perhaps just a riddle? A pupil? Not me.

Enjoyed your poem.
What we hope people to see is often different from what they choose to see.

We all have scars from our past that we carry with us. But these scars hopefully make us a better person and prove lessons learned. As for the eyes - the eyes show the soul - I love to look into eyes and see the true person that hid there.
