___________
cavities.
___________sometimes i eat too many sweets.
till my teeth and lips are raw.
the sensation reminds me of you.
when i gritted my teeth so hard,
i heard sirens in my ears that
werent really there.sometimes i cry when
i dont get my way
and my stomach caves
and i remember the times
when i let you get away with
so many things.i always cried and i also,
heard sirens in my ears.
sometimes i fought
because i was stubborn.i dont know why i fought for you
maybe i just couldnt believe you
were gone.after all those times
i told you to leave me
you finally did.
