i haven’t worn my retainer in weeks
i decided that tonight would be the night
that i reacquaint my teeth
with its plastic metal friend
and the pain, oh the pain
of my teeth being moved back into place
who could have thought that bone
could be swayed by a piece of plastic
and who could have thought that i
would still be kept awake
by the thought of you
i haven’t thought about you in weeks
but here i lay, teeth aching
and heart aching
