Love So Shallow

Love so shallow

I am, what I am, just a humble man
You are a star, seen only from afar
With furtive glances, I devised a plan
Your eyes told me, your love's door was ajar

I dipped my toes into love's shallow stream
Your heart opened wide as oceans so deep
Surprised, I dove into this hallowed dream
I thought destiny planned a love to keep

Slowly, but surely, love turned nonchalant
For you, love was, just a game of flirting
You were, ev'rything, I could ever want
My pure heart was left shattered and hurting

From now on, I will be an ascetic
Will your thoughts of me be sympathetic?
