a cavity

umm, just scraping around

sweet and subtle
it lingered there
somewhere in
the dark
crunch crunch
somewhere behind
the ache
it told me
I love you
in dulcet tones
it touched me
with velvet deceit
it wrapped me
in poxed blankets
and covered me
in treachery
until one day
i realized
it was time
to remove
the cavity
that was eating at me.

You need to stay away from those dulcet tones and syrupy anal congested types, then just give it a good yank....and brush vigorously.

Now, how painless can we make this? ;)
Fun and honest read.

Enjoying your large collection of work.

I guess you can check with our poet David on this site for he is an excellent dentist other than a poet...A powerful metaphor you have employed...Filling or removing it is up to you...:).............
