Love

Love

Which comes

With expectations

And definitions

Suffocates me

You be you

And me be me

In our love circuit

Let there be room

For dislikes and disquiet

My love is bereft of promises

Devoid of hopes

But yes,

It is love, nevertheless;

Because

That is the emotion

I find stuck with

At the bottom of my core.
