An infant's cry broke the night
Eyelids squeezed shut
Refusing to gaze upon this broken world
A toddler wobbles
Just learning the balancing act
Making her parents proud
She grows too quick, ever changing
Yet two crystal caves stay the same
The blue tinted windows to her old soul
You wouldn't recognize him now
Lest you catch his glance
Lest you fall into his deep crystal caves
The torrential seas
Sunken deep into his skull
They catch the sailors unawares
They drown in his stare
He hides these waters
They sell him out to old friends and distant family
This young man they thought they once knew
He killed the woman that once lived in his body
That imposter who shared his eyes
His eyes
The only thing left to recognize her by
