My Love For You
By: JoAnna Martin

Boundless as the sea,
my love for you
runs as deep,
deeper than a bottomless pit,
deeper than the guilt
in the soul of a sinner.
You entered my soul,
my mind,
my heart,
my body,
making my love for you
even greater than before.
But when you are gone,
my happiness is too
and I long to be by your side,
to love and be loved by you,
to hold and be held by you.
You’re always on my mind
and in my thoughts,
whether you’re near or far.
My heart belongs to you.
In my heart there are three feelings:
love, fear, and hate.
The love, as you know,
is for you.
The fear is the fear 
of losing you.
The hate is for the one
who tries to destroy
my love for you.
You control the feelings
as you now control my heart.
What you do with it
is your choice, 
nobody else’s.
Use it for good,
not evil.
