My teeth are rattling in my lungs

you kissed me and left them there

now i've stopped breathing

because i cant bear to cough out

the flames you left burning

they're poisonous, you know

or did you not realize that

when you brushed your lips

with enough force to bruise me

the marks are on my neck

from that nigh I inhaled molars

the last gift I got

was agony that I can't throw away

maybe I'll just inhale ice cubes
