Toothpaste

This love affair is like toothpaste.
Each morning a squeeze
Careful brushing and rinsing
Love doled out a dab at a time:
Necessary relationship hygiene
At some point though
No matter how much care you take
Stretching things out inch by inch.
It will run out and then?
Yes it seems empty
Yet you squeeze out a few more days
Don't worry she brought a new tube yesterday
Over time this smile might fade
Should I get a brightening tube?
There is a vain appeal to changing brands
Gels, pastes, strips and bleaches
Mouthwash: so many choices
Don't worry she brought a new tube yesterday
Staying with what we have established
Try to hard not to squeeze out to much
You get excited and make a mess
Now try and put it back
Might as well hang yourself with dental floss
Don't worry she brought a new tube today
