There's hardness to my gaze sometimes
Deep within these bulbs of mine
They jerk around so ferally
Glide no more as easily

I don't know how to get it back
A spectral something I now lack
It traveled down and out the spine
And split the slits 'til something cracked

It gave a scream upon its leave
It left me ever wondering
Was it because I'd seen too much
Had I snapped, or had my crutch
