Fear; fear of pain and fear of rejection

Knowledge; knowing the answer, expecting the worst

Yet hoping for better; that gentle protection

And only a little is needed to burst

Reason; not often needed, explanation unwanted

Love; faithful, steadfast to the ground

Faith; trust, loyalty, all easily burnt

One question is all it takes

Humanity always needs to know: Why?
