What a very sad poem. Your emotions could be felt as I read your words.

..and when the storm is gone
I looked for a hug
For something soft to cover me
To heal the burning wounds

HUgs can be so very healing. The love and the warmth from a hug give you the best feeling. I liked this stanza.

Looking for hope in the future
Like a little phoenix trying to rise again
Looking for affection, an unbearable desire
So that the painful ashes will be gone

nice ending. I hope you find what you are searching for.
Good job!
Take Care
