Has Anyone ever Loved You? {Poem}

Has anyone ever loved you

While your soul was sinking in tar?
Wanted to clasp your face in their hands?
While you
Were in pain,
Shaking from trauma,
Burnt from fear,
Scalded by disappointment?

Has anyone ever loved you?
Despite you pushing them away
‘Cause the fear of commitment was greater
Than your need for a soul haven.

Has anyone ever loved you?
My love?
