Newly committed like a fresh coat of gel polish
The everyday motions has it worn down
Caught in the edges in the midst of hair washing
Fall in pieces until it becomes too much to live with
Like a band aid the whole is pulled off
Fresh bare nails underneath
Peek through like the sunlight after rain
No trace of the colour before
Whites of the new nails
Bare
To face the motion of the next day
And onwards it grows
If we gather all the old nails we've cut
And put it back together like the Ship of Theseus
Are we not continuous ships of the nights before
Inevitable
Unrelentless
Passing of time
O how cruel a mistress time is
