Toxic, Sweet

pouring acetone over your colored nails, 

a sweet overpowering smell,

of sugar and fruit.

toxic lies hid beneath. 

layers, and layers

of fake skin to cover 

the hatred you hide 

under your nail polish,

and sweet perfumes. 

superficial and yet beautiful,

toxic and yet sweet,

truthful and yet you hide things

deep down

where no one can find them. 

deep down

where only you 

can see.
