Heart Nails Hit Send

Ketra Sain

Chrome on my thumb

Little red heart on the tip

Glass French shining cold

When I said I would not slip

Aura blush under the flash

Cat-eye line in the dark

Mixed metal on my fingers

Like armor over a soft part

I typed it clean

Then locked the screen

Put my pride back in place

But the room went quiet

And my hand got brave

Before I could save face

I told myself no

With my mouth shut tight

Then my finger moved first

In the blue phone light

Heart nails hit send

Before I could pretend

That I was above it

That I did not want it

Heart nails hit send

Pretty little violence

Right there in my hand

Cute enough to ruin my silence

I made it look sweet

I made it look planned

But the truth came out

With a heart on my hand

Tiny charm on my ring finger

Catches on my sleeve

I keep acting expensive

Over something cheap in me

Jelly red in the camera

Soft square, sharp mood

I looked too put together

To be reaching back for you

One sentence sat there

Too honest, too late

I should have deleted

I should have stayed safe

But the nail caught the button

Like it knew where to land

And suddenly my whole heart

Was out of my hand

I told myself stop

Like that meant a thing

Then the screen went bright

With the message leaving

Heart nails hit send

Before I could pretend

That I was above it

That I did not want it

Heart nails hit send

Pretty little violence

Right there in my hand

Cute enough to ruin my silence

I made it look sweet

I made it look planned

But the truth came out

With a heart on my hand

Maybe I dressed the damage

In polish and shine

Maybe the softest detail

Was the thing that crossed the line

You saw the message

I saw my nails

All that careful beauty

Turning into evidence

Don’t call me brave

Don’t call me weak

I only let one finger

Say what I could not speak

Heart nails hit send

Before I could defend

The cooler version of me

The one you always see

Heart nails hit send

Pretty little violence

Right there in my hand

Cute enough to ruin my silence

I made it look sweet

I made it look planned

But the truth came out

With a heart on my hand
