Analysis of Friend letter



Love can be deceiving hard task
for young people, their boring task,
abiding in nothingness, grow
behind the city were their task
learn profession for get income
the thieves plenty have robbing task
mess city, it’s terrible how
you treat the young, breaking your task
the stars aren’t, the sky dense
witness laughing, dear night my task
is to drink quickly all this wine
empty the cup, the waiter task,
kindly done. I come through darkness,
still dawn is so far, quiet night task
window blinds locked, nightmares flies,
me, drunk vagabond takes wine task
the maroon color engraved
brings a beautiful face, my task
is to never see his face, too
human, all I afford by task
is awakening never finding
divine wine, indeed mortal task
is to never be happy here
why?, they asked us by task
because human imperfection,
deserves never ends a sad task.
To love or not?, to make or not?
Better to write letters as task,
this isn’t a secure place to love, yours, Talia.
