Love is an Illusion 
 
It is a shimmering mirage 
That is forever just out of reach. 
 
It is something that everyone searches for 
but few are lucky enough to find. 
 
It lurks in the shadows allowing a brief glimpse 
beforedisappearing into the darkness. 
 
It makes you think there is something that will take away 
the loneliness that engulfs your soul. 
 
It warms your heart before withdrawing it's heat 
leaving you cold and broken. 
 
It destroys everything it touches 
leaving nothing but an empty shell. 
 
It is one of life's cruelest jokes. 
The universe having fun at our expense. 
 
Love is an illusion.
