A Love Story (told in painted nails)
a girl
sitting in the bathroom
painting her nails
a soft blue
like the sea
she is new to this
her nails are messy and the paint
gets on her fingers
she is still proud
She goes out
in her newly painted nails
a girl makes a comment
that her nails are sloppy
she ignores her
another girl
offers to repaint them
but she is proud
and refuses
she doesn’t care
in blue nail varnish
that is smudged
over time
she paints them again
and again
and again
until it’s as easy as breathing
30 seconds
and her nails look professional
and dangerous
they are longer now
she goes out
people admire her nails
and ask where she had them
done
she replies
that she did them herself
and the people are impressed
she still doesn’t care
in black nail varnish
and leather
a girl comes up to her
in a flower crown and
smudged purple nail varnish
and the girl
who has perfect nails
doesn’t criticise her
doesn’t offer to re-do her nails
simply compliments her crown
and messy nails
she blushes
and shyly asks if she’ll help her
with her nails
black nail varnish
leather
“yes”
they sit
two girls
very different
but the same
in a graveyard
painting nails
they meet again
under the pretence of
painting nails
and sit
close together
and laugh
in matching pink nails
that don’t go with leather
they give up the pretence
and go out for coffee
sitting
in a cheap shop
coffee and red nails
white nails
and tea
going out
together still
rainbows on her face
and nails.
nails painted
blue and purple and pink
the same pattern on her face
laughing
belonging
they find a home
get a cat
long nights
fight and make up
happy
laying on the couch
some old movie on the TV
matching nails
(purple)
linked fingers
standing together
making promises
as family
and friends
look on
nails painted gold and white
by each other
not because they can’t
paint them themselves
but because they no longer have to
What straight people think I want: to be accepted, to be seen as “normal” by them
What I actually want: a wife, ten cats, house by the ocean, money so i can get the love of my life whatever she wants
