Defiance
By Natalie Jean Cowell
You are by no means the first to think of
\opposing or disobeying me,
\accept it just as you've always done.
\Accept and adapt, the future is not you'rs
\to shape or control.
\Endure and go on, the shadows of tonight
\and tomorrow brushed aside by the sweet
\nectar of love.
\Love certainly won't be the last thing to
\die for it's folly.
\Love, why have you disobeyed me? Why have
\you made me obsess over you?
\You are no longer no worth fighting for...
