Restrained From Within

Your eyes
although they peer into me ocean blue
remain empty all the way through...
no trace of words
or emotions shared
iced over and shining clear

You speak of seldom words
not caring how they're heard...
delivering in plain old terms
sounding callous in return...

Withdrawn
inside this tomb of stone
sullenly protecting thee

I wonder if
you're inside out
screaming at me
trying to get out

Release the blocks
that hold you true
are only up to you.
