Twitch

i'll miss it

you told me not to love

the way your body jolted

when you slept

i told you i would hold you

tighter

you apologized to me when we first

met that your twitches might

turn me away

i told you to never say you were

sorry

you twitched and jerked

my body awake

with a sharp uppercut to 

the jaw once, while you slept

soundly. 

i smiled down at you, the 

brightest smile my soul has ever

ignited

you asked me if the

tremors hit last night

if the fear induced

spasms revealed themselves

once again

i kissed your open mouth 

and told you my touch

brought them to a cease

you feared these tremors

more than anything

but i find a deep discontent

so tell me, please tell me

who will end your torment 

for you now that 

i am gone.
