He never smiled, but his eyes were so warm with kindness 

His palms were rough, yet his heart was so soft 

He wore black and allowed the light to show on his face 

But I cannot explain the blood he had on his hands 

He moved slowly and thought quickly. 

He let no one in, but others let him in 

Never the one to shed a tear,  and wiped away mine 

But I cannot explain the blood he had on his hands 

The shadows would cast on the side of his face, but ask his mother he is not a horrible man 

Scars decorated his arms, but his friends can assure he could never hurt a fly  

Look at the empathy in his eyes, a monster doesn't feel such things 

But I cannot explain the blood he had on his hands 

His friends do not understand his resentment  

His mother could never describe his quietness 

I know he is not a man of hatred 

But I cannot explain the blood he had on his hands 

A mystery, a person I could not describe  

So simple but complex, not sad or depressed  

A person I know I know, but I can't really summarize  

But I cannot explain the blood he had on his hands
