Romantic Hyperbolic

You've been there so you understand
                          when love-slain pairs
           pledge endless, fearless love to which
                            nothing compares,
                   and all that brave, romantic 
                                 exaggeration
           that smacks of the lovers' paranoid
                                    delusion.

                 Theirs is not a nice lie, only
                           a misstatement;
            they just can't help but gush with
                       much overstatement,
        but they're sincere in their excessive
                                  intention
        while swept away by cloyingly sweet
                                  emotion.

          So, when you hear them promise
                          to love each other
                     beyond eternity, till hell
                              freezes over,
           just allow some leeway for such
                               hyperbole;
     their words, like yours, are touching, but
                              really silly !
