It is hard for a reader to take in a poem that has such a broad, almost overwhelming title. You lose half your audience from people going, "Oh, god, another poem called 'Love'." Maybe you should reevaluate your intentions and try to show the reader what you are thinking rather than simply making a statement that could easily be said by anyone.
