The heartbroken guardians of love

How is that we the ones whos only aim
Is to protect and help others gain
Are the ones that never find
That which will preserve our mind

The love that we all fight for
Is the same which will ignore
Our heartfelt pleas for some requite
Be it by day or in the night

Will we the ones that give our souls
Ever find for what we toll
Or will we work for all our life
And then die of endless strife
