Love Less Poem by Za7ra Sulaiman

Does knowing me more, lead to loving me less?


The more you peel back the layers,
The more of me you come to know.
Yet with each revelation, a fear lingers -
Will the love I crave begin to go?

Does knowing me more, lead to loving me less?
The vulnerable parts I hesitate to share,
Fearful they'll drive you far away.
The flaws I work so hard to conceal,
What if they make you turn astray?

The depths of my soul laid bare before you,
Exposing the darkest corners of my heart.
Will the light of your affection start to dim,
As you witness how broken I am, how apart?

The intimacy we've built, brick by brick,
What if it crumbles under the weight of truth?
Does delving deeper into who I am
Mean you'll cease to see me as your cherished youth?

I long for your love to grow ever stronger,
As you come to understand me more.
But the nagging doubt persists, won't let me rest -
Does knowing me more, lead to loving me less?
