Rip it out, take it away, just make the fucking pain go away.
Rip it out, numb my pain, will it always be the same?
The bleeding never stops, into my mouth it seeps.
The bleeding never goes away, this fucking shits for keeps.
My tongue is ever turning, to seek out my aching tooth.
I want to, need to, get it out, it's no longer in its youth.
It's old, and stained, and worn, and ever so rotten now.
I'd rather dig it out myself and be left with a bleeding hole.
The throbbing, aching feeling never leaves me alone at all.
It fills my head with thoughts of nothingness, even though it's oh so small.
It's aching insides eat me up, make me want to scream.
When I live each day and night, it feels just like a dream.
I've got to get it sorted, I've got to get it done.
Until then, it feels like I'll never, ever have much fun.
But I fear the dreadful pain and the bleeding never ends.
But I have family to get me through and I too have special friends.
Rip it out, take it away, the bastard's just so bloody sore.
Rip it out, please do it now, because I don't think I can take much more.

You took that hammer my friend and you hit it right on the head. It is amazing isn't it, just how such a small thing can have such an awful effect on ones every day living! Teeth! Who'd have them eh? I hate the bloody things, thats for sure. I wish I had looked after mine when I was growing up. It's too late now and one by one they will be removed from my mouth, until I have a mouth like a vagina.
At least one of my teeth will be famous now;)

Great poem Shelley.
I can certainly identify with this too, having been in & out of dentists every few months for all my adult life! Wonderful stuff as always Shelley.
