Mad Love

I am so madly in love with her
My breathing alone sounds out her name

I am so madly in love with her
If she commits a crime, I will take the blame

I am so madly in love with her
I tattooed her face behind my eye lids

I am so madly in love with her
Her presence holds me closer than my own skin

I am so madly in love with her
I sleep with one eye open to keep her safe

I am so madly in love with her
Her pain causes a tsunami of tears on my face

I am so madly in love with her
My emotions for her are in capital letter case

I am so madly in love with her
Her shadow cast on me 
Gives me goosebumps shoulder to knee

I am so madly in love with her
If she left me, my heart would be so crushed
To a point that coughing would emit heart dust
