Beautiful Illusion

Unconditional love, 
that grants me access to a faraway paradise, 
is what I feel for you 
Breath taking beauty 
is what I see in you 
A euphonious voice, 
that bypasses my senses 
and makes me believe even the impossible, 
is what I hear from you
	
Love is a bastion of benevolence 
that is said to block all malevolence, 
but I impugn this absurd assumption 
because even love is susceptible
	
Blinded by love, 
I lived a beautiful illusion, 
flabbergasted by the heartbreaking reality to which I awoke to 
Now I wander this warped nightmare 
in which the futility of my efforts is proven with every disappointment presented, 
debilitated by my ignominious ineptitude to overcome my profound melancholy 
	
I venture into this unknown world of cruelty, 
in which I am fate’s puppet, 
with no hope of ever returning 

I would give it all up to be with you my love, 
but sadly I know you wouldn't do the same
Regardless, I refuse to let go of this suffering 
even if I know my pitiful invocation 
is nothing but a futile attempt to change my depressing fate

"Love is a bastion of benevolence that is said to block all malevolence, " very descriptive and impacting, though at the same time, not over done, which is hard to do. I really enjoyed this poem!
