but this time there’s no easy fix.
There are only two choices:
complete extraction
or
scooping out the pulp
and capping with a shiny new exterior.
But which to choose?
To have you removed so completely
is by far the easiest route,
the pain is greater, magnified by thousands
in comparison to its current state,
but it will ease and ebb away over time.
To replace you. Yes,
this option is also tempting.
Perhaps I would not be the only sufferer,
but you would feel, if only minutely,
a bit of the cross I bear.
My throat grows closed in indecision,
just give me a moment to gnaw on each option.
