27: Trust Issues

Today I discovered something
that comes in three different aspects
the reason everything feels like nothing
comes within these troubling requests.

First thought out of three,
my dating apps on the phone
how I wish to delete
instead I keep, hoping to find someone.

Number two I am aware of my issues
in terms of attatchment and trust.
Here's hoping to end this ruse
when the right one comes up front.

Unhealed cuts that I hate to admit,
it bleeds red like the love that I give.

Do I really want to change?

Hold up. My heartaches gift me with a benefit,
to keep this heart on the lifeline
away for the one wishing to mess with it.
Give me time to heal and get back on the grind.

A resolution, to give love a chance,
a reason to evolve and become a better man.

If I start now with skin two times thicker,
I'll have something to live for in the nearby future.
