His Icy Blue Eyes

Hooded by a cap were his icy blue eyes Unaffected, it seemed, by cruelty and lies; Mouth in a tight line, emotionless as ever As if incapable of thought or action or endeavour; Words rarely escaped the lips that seemed not To move as if they belonged to a robot; Ears deaf to the cries of his beloved brothers Of the twin angrily blazing to sob to the others Claiming the icy blue twin just plain didn't care Of the hotheaded friend who always was there. But unknown to all, those eyes that seemed to Have no knowledge at all in their Arctic blue Hid a lad who hid well under the shade, Arms littered in scars caused by fingers and a blade, Afraid to accidentally cause those dear to him harm Fearing he'd freeze them in an attempt to keep them warm So he shut his mouth and dared not to speak For fear he'd end up being cause for heartbreak.
