Love Poem: Show Me

Show Me

I crack and I peel 
like lead laced walls 
I'm a haphazard so please
keep your distant 
I contain many flaws 
I fear no one will love me
maybe I'm a lost cause 
people keep coming and going
like a bunch of rotating glass doors 
we all have sores that will never heal
and I'm not talking about the STD kind 
I'm talking about the wounds
that prevent you from really feeling
see I'm afraid I'll never fall in love
I'd rather lie in the tub and let 
the bubbles tickle as they rise on up 
I know that might be a little graphic 
but it's the truth. Show me the proof. 
So I can stop treating love like a spoof.
