Glossitis
Glossitis can mean soreness of the tongue, or more usually inflammation with depapillation of the dorsal surface of the tongue (loss of the lingual papillae), leaving a smooth and erythematous (reddened) surface, (sometimes specifically termed atrophic glossitis). In a wider sense, glossitis can mean inflammation of the tongue generally. Glossitis is often caused by nutritional deficiencies and may be painless or cause discomfort. Glossitis usually responds well to treatment if the cause is identified and corrected. Tongue soreness caused by glossitis is differentiated from burning mouth syndrome, where there is no identifiable change in the appearance of the tongue, and there are no identifiable causes.
Classification
Glossitis could be classified as a group of tongue diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. It may be primary, where there is no underlying cause, or secondary where it is a sign or symptom of another condition. It can be acute or chronic. Generally speaking, there are several clinical patterns of glossitis, some more common than others.

Closets
by: WilkinsonsYou say you'll call when the time is right, yeah right
You must think there's something better
You just haven't met her
I should put my life on hold and wait
You'll be back when you're ready
Funny you expect me
To gather dust, to trust that much
Chorus:
Baby, I don't hang in closets
Baby, I don't sit on shelves
Like a coat that's out of fashion
While you go and try on something else
I don't stay in storage like your Beatle albums do
Baby, I don't hang in closets
Oh, waiting 'round for you
You say we're moving a bit too fast, that's all
You want me to be patient, selfish expectation
When you decide that my love fits you just right
You want me to be here when you see your way clear
To carry on, that's where you're wrong
Chorus:
Baby, I don't hang in closets
Baby, I don't sit on shelves
Like a coat that's out of fashion
While you go and try on something else
I don't stay in storage like your Beatle albums do
Baby, I don't hang in closets
Oh, waiting 'round for you
I'm not a hand me down
Wont be your place to fall
And I wont be around
When you say you love me after all
2nd Chorus:
Baby, I don't hang in closets
Baby, I don't sit on shelves
Like a coat that's out of fashion
While you go and try on something else
Stacked up in the corner
Just yesterday's news
Baby, I don't hang in closets
Oh, I don't hang in closets
Waiting 'round for you
