braces
jane for three years, my mouth was filled
with rocks & wires, making me feel like
a twelve
year
old
smile with my lips closed
tight, try with all of my might
my eyes would deceive me
"well aren't you pretty?"
they would say.
you would stay late nights
under the shadow of a street light
and kiss my
scratchy mouth
and i would hold your sweatshirt
hoping i could assert
myself
to avoid any hurt
i might find on your shelf
and you could tell
i was still young and so tired
you were fired up
waiting to sip from
my
cup
although i closed my eyes
i could still see fireflies
as i waited for your lips touch
so fine
i thought it was a sign
that these wires
could hold less in - you were mine

or so i thought
