Same pain, different mood

Wounds

Same pain, different mood

Sometimes accidentally

A tooth hits your lip

A cut

A spurt of blood

The pain is unbearable

Sometimes you do it on purpose

Treating pain with pain

Put your lips in your mouth

Let them

kill each other

Sometimes they keep their distance

Sometimes they lose their minds

Blood flows out

With a fishy taste

Lips and teeth cling to each other

intentionally or unintentionally

helplessly. The same pain

a different mood
