My Love Is Too Big

My love is too big
To be tucked away in a pocket
At the corner of your heart
Where you could watch it
Always within boundaries
Always under your command
My love is too big
It poured over the edge
Of the space you made
Bigger than you imagined
Panic grew with it
Beneath your controlling hand
My love is too big
It kept overflowing
Beyond your borders
Beyond your orders
And refusing to letting it fill you
You pushed it back instead
My love is too big
And your corner too small
The messes were piling up
Without any way to clean
The untamed feeling
That had swelled up within
My love is too big
To stay within lines
To fit amongst doubts
To bump against fears
So instead of pushing them out
You drained my love instead
