His eyes frosted, like cornflakes on snow
Gazing into the abyss below
A storm brewing within his soul
A tempest of emotions taking its toll

The icy gaze pierces through
Revealing a heart that's tried and true
Yet burdened by unseen weight
A heavy load he cannot abate

In those eyes, a world untold
Of battles fought, of stories bold
A map of scars etched deep within
Remnants of battles lost and won
...
