In love's embrace, I clung too tight,
A smothering warmth that blocked the light.
My heart, it poured without refrain,
A deluge that became a bane.
With every beat, my love did swell,
A tide too strong, it broke the spell.
For love that's free must ebb and flow,
Mine was a storm that ceased to glow.
The tighter I held, the more you withdrew,
A paradox in a bond I thought true.
Too much love can push away,
Leaving one alone with dismay.
