    Just listen to your heart for me...
    39
    Your eyes of glass
    A cold view of the world
    Staring through frosted windows

    People shrink back
    With fear, respect, doubt
    But you pass by them all
    Without a second glance
    Without a shred of concern
    You pass by them all

    Your steps, heavy with duty
    Your shoulders pulled back with confidence
    A grim expression on your face
    A tight frown on your lips
    Your fingers, stiff and tense
    But your eyes are emotionless

    Most people avert your gaze
    Feeling a shiver run up their spine
    Their skin grow cold
    Their heart beating quickly
    Just at the mere glimpse of you
    Just at the mere mention of your name

    But they don’t know the truth
    That behind your eyes of glass
    There’s a warm, magnanimous soul
    Someone who always cares
    Someone who is full of heart and love
    Someone who you can depend on

    Everyone will continue to draw back
    Everyone will continue to stay silent
    But I will not be one of them
    I’ll be there for you when you need me
    I’ll be there for you whenever you want
    I’ll be there, like what friends are for

    A burning fire
    Hidden behind windows of frost
    Your eyes of glass
