There is an old song called "The Rainbow Connection."
If you've ever seen the Muppet Movie, it's what Kermit is singing in the swamp at the beginning. The song tells us that we've been told that Rainbows just are just visions, only illusions, and that they have nothing to hide. But, the singer knows they are wrong, and one day we'll find that connection where the lovers and dreamers are.
Well, right now, LOVE has become just an illusion to me.
You see, I recently arrived at the end of that rainbow and found, not a pot of gold, but a pile of crap. Crap that my face was promptly shoved into by the person I thought loved me.
I was a lover. I cared, I tried to make her happy - but I
obviously failed. 
I was a dreamer. I had dreams of a family, of growing old with that one, special person I thought I had found. I was rudely awoken from that dream. And, like any good dream that you wake up from, I'll never go back into it. Not that same dream.
Who knows, maybe, one day I'll find it, the true Rainbow connection, for the lovers, the dreamers and me - all of us under it's spell.
