First off, I really really like the way you started this, with the vague question as the first line ^_^ From the first stanza on, I wanted to read this more as if it were a very angry heavy metal song, but that got more and more difficult towards the end. Try for more forceful word choices. this happened in the first stanza with phrases like "pain of amour" and "dead ends" and even the "falling" of falling in love. However, in the second stanza, there seems like more of a playful tone, with "love's disguise" and the mention of stars. Make these words and phrases work for you: love's disguise shouldn't be a good thing, but it's difficult to read it that way in context.
Also, take a look at the rhyme scheme because it becomes more and more forced as it progresses. In the first stanza, I didn't even notice it was rhyming. I was thinking more about the rhythm (which is awesome, by the way ^_^). I like the rhyme scheme of the first stanza, which is ABCDDA, so it doesn't hit you over the head with rhymes; this might be why the rest of the poem (in the form AABBCCDDEEFF etc.) sounds more forced. Consistency can immediately streamline almost anything.
This is an interesting topic to write about; just remember to stay focused!
