Toothless Grin
It’s my toothless grin
All gnarled and hopeless
The smile’s there
But the emotion is not
I‘ve emptied it
Into the shame
Of neglect.
It’s my toothless grin
All jagged and angry
The glamour is gone
But the tempest burns
I started it
With all the shame
Of neglect
It’s my toothless grin
All desperate and alone
The music is gone
But the passion is not
I held it all
With fucking shame
Of endless
Neglect
