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
