Algorithm Poem by Mehreen Mujeeb

Love is carried as a burden
As a load tied around your back
You expect your lover to carry your load
And trip in all your cracks.

That’s what I felt
In a feeling called love
I was left to dealt
With expectations.

You give
So you get
What if you feel love
But don’t feel it back?

I fell into love and drowned
Even though in love you fly
Felt the blame for every wrong
But in love what is right?

If love is to feel
Then why do we expect?
