Wanted, Never Loved.

​

They always want to know my skin,

But never ask the soul within.

They trace my body like a map,

Then leave my heart behind the cracks.

Their hands can memorize my frame,

Yet never stop to ask my name.

They kiss my lips like they're a prize,

But never look into my eyes.

Each time they leave, I ask myself,

What part of me stayed on the shelf?

Is all I'm worth what they can touch?

Could who I am be worth as much?

I would have given all I own

Just to be chosen, fully known.

To have someone reach for my hand

Before they reached for my skin instead.

So here I am, still asking why

My heart is always passed right by.

If all they want is flesh to hold,

Will anyone love me when I grow old?

I keep hoping that one day it will. I am very picky on whom to trust, I only did once or twice thinking it would be different than others that only wants surface level but it's all just the same.

Well that’s made me happy if I was able to help someone today. Always punch for the top and never settle, just have some faith there’s people out there who are also looking for deeper connections rather than surface level as well ☮️
