Toothpaste Words
Toothpaste words
Squeezed out
With all the vigor of a three year old;
Smeared across
The surface of our marriage-
Abrasive and Burning.
Warning!
Harmful if swallowed.
Killing germs of trust and respect
Fighting calcified love
Results proven. It works.
So keep squeezing the tube.
When it's all washed away,
I will have a fresh breath,
And you'll be holding
Just an empty tube
And the knowledge that
Toothpaste words can never be taken back.
