retreat to myself

love you saw
as a binding;
I untangled the knots
and flew free.

expectations you said,
will tumble in;
there was just one -
can I offer myself
without holding?

don't come close
future I know not -
was your refrain.
it didn't matter
in knowing myself as love
I had found the answer.

This still doesn't feel right. It needs some more work....
