Shallow Love Is Like a Reverie

Shallow Love is Like a Reverie

Shallow love is bubblegum when the flavor burst begins.
Chew too long - the sweetness will be gone.
Shallow love doesn’t want to chew that same old piece of gum
on and on and on and on and on.

Shallow love is a Hollywood happy-ending movie.
It doesn’t delve into life’s grime and grit.
Shallow love hates sub-plots. When there are complications,
show’s over! Shallow love is done with it!

Like a reverie is shallow love - a dilly-dally dream,
a happy-ending movie, bubblegum sweet!
Shallow love can’t find the beauty in what comes with reality.
With love profound, shallow love cannot compete.

A lovely trance of pure romance is shallow love’s reverie.
But soon you realize that it is fake.
Though it’s divine to be lost in its dream, everybody knows. . . 
from  reveries you always must awake!
