I Wonder

My foolish heart never learns 
The pain it feels it didn’t earn

Why is it so difficult to comprehend? 
Unconditional giving and loving don’t exist 
Yet my devotion and loyalty will persist
I will fight back the cruel hands of  fate 
And its scorching chains I will abate

My loving heart will never learn 
The agony it feels it didn’t earn
