ON THE SUBJECT OF YOUR LOVE

I don’t deserve your love.
Your affection’s so powerful,
If received all at once,
I would end up in hospital.

I am undeserving,
Of your warmth and romantic talk.
Such strong adoration,
Could be deadly given in bulk.

Your love’s too good for me.
I don’t deserve the smallest bit.
That’s what I tell myself,
To justify not having it.
