Example 2 Hyperbole

Hyperbole> An over exageration.

War Like Love.
 
When I thing about him
it's like a world war in my mind
My emotions are guns killing my idea's
His pictures stuck in my brain
Like Chewing gum on a chair
And my thoughts are bombs exploding on a destructed island.
 
Every time he smiles at me
a plane crashes but im feeling glad
My fears are sinking in an ocean of blood
His eyes are my Victory
and his thoughts are my worst enemy
My head is a battle ship crossing the sea of my heart
 
While he touches me
children are dying in the world of war
My ideas are soilders shooting on all they see
His hands are freedom,peace and hope
All my senses are imprisioned
In his mind and his heart
 
   I love him
        I love him . . .

The reason that I feel that this poem is an example of Hyperbole is because the girl is obviously confused on weather or not she wants to be with the guy that she is in love with and doesnt know how to expredd that feeling so she over exagerates using the war as examples of  how she feels.
