Yellow teeth

I saw the most awful yellow teeth
I felt sorry for that young woman
She couldn't have been more that 30
But her teeth were so yellow; dirty

Poor woman; what have you done?
Have surely brought your life undone
Poor young woman; what made you do it?
Why would you ruin your life?
Was it so difficult a life to live?
Did no-one give you enough love?
What happened to cause such strife?
Poor young woman; I saw you 
So many long years ago; it was
Do you still try to smile?
Are you just a memory to someone?
