Sugar High
I’m not much of sweet tooth, sugar makes me sick. Yet, maybe your sweet taste distorted my gums, so the heaviness in my molars became my everyday. Or was it the orange-flavored kiss you left behind, that made me okay with hard candy stuck, jammed in between my crooked teeth. It’s normal, I told myself.

Sugar coated and filled, sticking to my cracked lips infesting, rotting, staining, slowly clawing at my nerves eroding all the away to the bone. The mint toothpaste wasn’t enough when the mirror told me, the aches and bad breath isn’t love. So I let my fingers crawl into my mouth, twisting out my decaying tooth from the root with a— snap.
