I got an abortion today. For years, I waited for you. Rubbing the lump with my fingers, feeling what must have been your arms and legs. They told me to get rid of you, but I said no. I watched you grow, inside me, the lump got bigger... I got an infection. They said I should get rid of you, but I wouldn't. I could barely open my lips, it hurt so bad. I suffered for a month, aching and paining and the infection ran up my nerve, it hurt. But I wouldn't get rid of you. Finally, the infection went away. You came out. But you weren't perfect, you were malformed. I knew I couldn't keep you. So I went to the doctor to have you removed. Ah, the sense of loss. I wanted you so badly. I waited for you so long. I wanted you so badly. Here lies the carcass of my wisdom tooth. I waited for you. |

I really did feel such loss, over my wisdom tooth.
* didn't actually get it out, but was going to.
