Expectations, they say,
assassinate bliss
Expectations, they say,
tempt tears
Expectations, they say,
demolish castles
Expectations, they say.
break hearts.
I have, a zillion times,
begged them to stay away
I have, more than once,
snubbed their lofty kinship
I have, with a heavy heart,
pushed them in the secret closet.
God only knows why and how
have they gulped down
oaths of the strangest nature
Oaths that bind them
to pull out all the strings
that keep my joyous packets together.

Nice poem... Appreciate it...
But sometimes if good to expect. For example in the following cases:
1. Expecting your luck to support you when you have worked very hard.
2. Expecting god to smile on you when you are praying.
3. Expecting to loose weight when you are running everyday.
4. Expecting your parents to forgive you when you have done a grave mistake.
Welcome Back to the world of words. Good Comeback. Can't say that I understand the poem in its entirety but can certainly feel the undercurrents.
