Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.

Do not take my smile away
with your animosity
towards all things beautiful
Do not replace my smile
with a frown when
you belittle me
to the point of irritation.
You wish to instigate
a war between
my happiness and
your misery
but it is a
war I
cannot
bear for
you
to
win...

After feeling a tad guilty for being rude about an old story of yours, I decided to read more of your work. And I wasn't disappointed. :) Especially after reading this poem of yours. Not only is it beautiful like the others mentioned, but it's also very easy to relate to.

Good job & Keep Writing,

...normgrl
