My Mettle
I find myself in that familiar place
where wounds reopen
and the feeling of danger
beckons to race
Old scars wanting to tear apart
like a stray bullet to the heart
Old habits emerge so mindless
despite being met with kindness
I question if I've really healed
If these years have anything to yield
Uncomfortable is how I've felt
Do I peek at this hand that is dealt
I'm at a crossroad of old and new
Simply locked scared at what to do
Yet I know I will choose you
I will always wear my heart on my sleeve
No matter the times it's torn away
In the work I've done I believe
Will keep you beside me day by day
This 'uncomfortable' is my test
Trust me that you'll get my best
My work will not be undone
because what we have has just begun
Healing after a breakup is tested when to try to date once more. Those feelings will come back as a defensive layer, your reaction is everything
