The Cries of a Frozen Heart
Some would say Byakuya is cold and frozen
Due to the emotionless path he's chosen
His heart is like a block of ice
Making his demeanor anything but nice
He has chilled to the bone
Choosing to battle life's struggles alone
His past was painful
Making emotional connections disdainful
Emotions are the root of pain, in his eyes
But even frozen, his heart still cries
Reaching out through the pain
Thawing a little each time she says his name
He needs her back
Yoruichi, his demon cat
His heart knows too much of struggle and strife
Yet, it still believes her kiss breathes life
Byakuya's heart is losing to his mind
A mind stuck on rewind
He barely remembers the joyful days of play
Instead relives the sorrowful day she ran away
His mind is winning and he remains frozen
While his heart is tearing from a love unspoken
