But Cannot Comprehend

And yet, in spite of everything,

You love me, with all your heart and soul

This I understand

But cannot comprehend.

I hurt you with my carelessness.

Unmeaningful intent.

In spite of this

Your eyes meet mine

With devotion still unbent

And boundless.

This I understand

But cannot comprehend.

My soul could burst with gratitude

I say I’m always yours

Yet still I fly to other worlds

Deserting you, unmeant.

In spite of this

You love me still

Though I cannot repent.

This I understand

But cannot comprehend

How you love me ’til the end.
