This is a recent poem by Cristy Ramirez which I received just a few days ago. I like her expression of being "haunted" and also think that it is one her better poems. - poetheart 12/14/01
Why must you be
Such a thorn in my side.
Lying still and dormant.
Giving me the sense of closure.
I forget you. I live, I breathe.
I now love another.
Then suddenly
You twist, all taciturn.
To remind me, To let me know...
That you are still there.
Just beneath the surface,
Yet deeper than I could ever imagine.
