Life never ending wishes


I yearn for love. I search for love. I want love. I need love. But it seems hard to find. Because I feel like I don’t deserve it. Flaws and scars from an undesirable childhood Still linger within me, But they are not yours to have. Despite all of this, you don’t care, And these flaws and scars do not make you love me any less. But I can’t help feeling sad. I wish my spirit could be at ease and find the love I long for, A love that will make me feel whole again. The love that you give me
