Reaction to "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"

In the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" T.S. Eliot is asking whether or not to do something…“Do I dare disturb the universe?” Should he present his ideas?
He almost pokes fun at the women talking of Michelangelo, and “before the taking of toast and tea.” He appears disdainful of society; he understands them but doesn’t agree or conform, but he “knows their stares” and throughout the poem ponders the possibility of disturbing their peace, as it will only end with his “head upon a platter.” He utilizes repetition to emphasize certain points (the tea and women talking of Michelangelo).
I find it interesting how the poem is titled as a love song...it certainly isn't adoration Eliot feels, and he certainly isn't enamored with the world. Rather, Eliot seems disenchanted with society, so therefore one may conclude that the love referred to in the title is really just the absence of love, a declaration of his disappointment.
I think at the end, the bit about the mermaids, is referring to responses to him and his writing. Eliot doesn't believe the mermaids will sing to him, and he finishes the poem saying "till human voices wake us and we drown." Could he be referring to critics and the responses that may end up putting his head upon a platter? He doesn't believe they will like his writing, and it will ultimately be his destruction.
