Twitch
In your dreary nervous dreams have you ever felt
impending doom from fuzzy corners of a room, or felt the nervous drop
from a fall you could not stop? Then suddenly you awakened from the
fears that left you shaken as you tried to ease your senses in light of
periled consequences, because foolishly you dare challenge a force you
could not manage? While your poker face delivers inside you only quiver,
you barely stood astounded as your precious heart aptly pounded. Then
you finally came to realize your hopes had just been stranded, when lady
nightmare just had landed.
