Black Nail Polish by Shannon Smith

Whenever I see my black nail polish,
I always think of you.
The inside of the bottle is dark, cold, and not smart-
So whenever I see my black nail polish,
It reminds me of your cheating, lying, heart.

Whenever I use my black nail polish,
I always think of what you did to me.
You used me, abandoned me, and left me alone, crying along the wall-
So whenever I use my black nail polish,
It reminds me of your playing, cruel, cardiac muscle that is just way too small.

But whenever I wear my black nail polish,
I always think of all the times we've had.
When we used to smile, laugh, and never obsess-
So whenever I wear my black nail polish,
It reminds me of that crazy, bipolar, organ in your chest.
