Too much love is always too little
My heart is cleft in twain
by too much love on many sides
and none decisive, all coercive,
all demanding, none forgiving,
everyone an obligation,
none a liberation;
and how could I let them down,
neglect and fail to care
for anyone of them,
when love is everybody's right
forever, and your duty is to love
whomever gives your love to you?
It's a predicament, the total failure
to live up to your ambitions,
the most human shortcomings of love,
when you just want to give it all
and only can deliver fragments.
