i have developed a twitch. neurotic tendencies. obsessive, compulsive tendencies. i brush my teeth, my hair. i pick, leaving tiny, almost unnoticeable      speckle                   spot                                    scabs. stupid that my response creates tangible evidence of        an invisible                   experience -             or maybe not - maybe it's appropriate, maybe it's      the point. after all, holding the smooth hair and sparkling teeth is a once loved heart scarred, pocked, and marred by defeat.

the aftermath (III) : wilting still
i have developed a twitch. neurotic tendencies. obsessive, compulsive tendencies. i brush my teeth, my hair. i pick, leaving tiny, almost unnoticeable      speckle                   spot                                    scabs. stupid that my response creates tangible evidence of        an invisible                   experience -             or maybe not - maybe it's appropriate, maybe it's      the point. after all, holding the smooth hair and sparkling teeth is a once loved heart scarred, pocked, and marred by defeat.
i am wilting still waiting still for the tremors to end
