Pressing Love

Her smothering
oppressive 24/7 love

slowly wearing me down

as I choke on the
excessive affections
flooding in my direction

I know I should be grateful
to be blessed
with such emotional riches
in this love starved existence

but we all need to breathe
do we not?

If I can't find a way
to temper her fervor

I may overdose
on her hard core crush
