Simple glance upon the mirror an echo stirs at something queer?
At first I thought it a smear upon the mirror until I drew all so near.
A closer look a careful stare as I drew near.
A simple twitch upon my nose is all I knew.
Just a twitch, but boy did it itch!
I scratched it light, went on my way with little to say.
Let´s begin this day as any other, but that damn twitch is here to stay!
I scratched at it harder and I spite my nose to make it right!
Why must we fight oh twitch upon my nose?
Heaven knows you´re just a twitch!
Why make such a pitch?
I drew a fit as I grabbed my nose and drew first blood.
Blinded by rage or blood, not knowing which one, I ran for the door.
Down the stairs is all I need to stop the bleed.
First step fine but second the twitch that itched railed me again.
I slapped at it in fury as in a hurry.
Suddenly blurry, the world tumbled and I felt a loud crack up my back.
Laying there still upon the hard cold floor I feel life slipping all because of
the twitch that itched that caused a pitch and now my life is off like a switch.
