a tear tattooed at the corner of his eye

hardship chiseled in his features
silence laden by a troubled past
his thoughts kept to himself
behind an invisible wall of insulation
while his face speaks to me in whispers
of a history muddled with shady details

eyes reveal that regrets he's had a few
and dreams now seem out of reach
yet there's a part of him that refuses to give up
