A dummy of love



It is every man’s crave
Engraved in our hearts by who knows
It is the reason for many to live
Exactly how did it come to this?

The media exalts it to the high heavens
By embroidering it with good scenes
They trick to make it a reality
But can fantasy be reality?

For you to be immersed in it
You only have to hold hands
Feeding your catch with words of create
Yet the heart lacks feelings

They show that for those cloyed
It is bliss comparable to none other
This suggesting those failed
Infuse life with a lack of bliss forever!

This is not true at all
Love though good is not everything
Think twice before heeding to its call
Lest you lose all, thinking you’re gaining

Just an advice for your discretion
Be wary of impostors of love
Judge carefully their affection
Because they might be dummies of love!
