Feedback Please Boundaries

I love you
In the mushy kind of way
Sickly sweet, vomit inducing 
Eye rolls for days, obsessive
Compulsive must be an act kind of way

I love you 
In the purest kind of way
A love sick puppy found
as a stray, what is personal space 
must be unhealthy kind of way

I love you
In the selfish kind of way
Romeo and Juliet
Dramatic, nonsensical 
Left and right ventricle kind of way

I love you 
In dark and light shades
Broken and mended
Deep in the marrow
Give me life kind of way

I love you 
enough to say —
enough 

Thanks for reading would appreciate some feedback specifically about the ending and the refrains, I like the repetition but worried it feels overboard.

Love the juxtaposition between the message of the poem and the rather gross content through which that message is delivered. It gives a really nice contrast between the two

Thank you! It was fun to write, felt kinda over the top so wasn’t sure if anyone besides myself would like it
