Romantic Illusion

The overwhelming pressure
of that
romantic illusion.
Fate hardly matters.
You adapt to believe there is
an absolute one
for you.

I reflect at the people under
the spell of illusion,
they start the day confident and speak
with self-assurance
but have no power.

This rosy mortal illusion
continued to be a consolation,
for I knew that we had
better purpose than this.
