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
