Love's Fanaticism
People argue
That my whispered words
Of complete devotion
Can be nothing more
Than some random
Concocted hyperbole
But my love is no exaggeration
Only the truth
The depth of my adoration
Supersedes even the ocean
Unable to compare it
With any earthly description
My words do it no justice
But my heart knows full well
The hold that you have on me
Spanning the lifetime
That we shall share together
That my whispered words
Of complete devotion
Can be nothing more
Than some random
Concocted hyperbole
But my love is no exaggeration
Only the truth
The depth of my adoration
Supersedes even the ocean
Unable to compare it
With any earthly description
My words do it no justice
But my heart knows full well
The hold that you have on me
Spanning the lifetime
That we shall share together
