What about Love?

And if, love was a sacrifice?
And if, love was pain,
Tears, cries
An inner storm
An eternal raging ocean?

And if, love was renunciation?
If it was a separation from
Everything that this world gives?

I love
Whether the divine or the human
I love
The one who wants me more
Shall emerge as the winner

If the divine wishes to conquer my heart
Then it shall guide me
And if it wills that the human be the one
Then it shall guide me towards him

And if love was in fact
Renunciation but also fulfilling mundane duties
And if love was in fact
The mere acceptance of what has been 
Written for us?
