Bad Manicure

No I don't like long nails 
And yes my relationships end soon
But it hurts because I care about my relationships more than my nails
The nailpolish doesn't stay on usually 
And my acts of love aren't compromised
But the only stain that gets deeper into my heart is of heartache
I bite my nails often 
And trust my love a lot 
But at the end the claws of lust are the ones that overpower
