Why Did I Love You?
I have no courage left, your actions
have ground my heart into a fine dust...
You left me empty –
until the moments come
where you provoke the sphinx…
giving rise to an earthquake
that rends my psyche
...all of creation quivers around me...
and I realize that hole
where my heart once lived
is now a pit of fire - full of hatred and anger.
That smug smirk you wear
mocks my immobilizing fury,
invoking a bloom of violence
Read the rest of the poem Show less
in my fractured mind –
you smile at my pain,
and the emotional torment you inflict…
Now, all the tokens of love you’ve given
are covered with a gray, sooty ash.

About Me
About me
I've been writing poetry since I was around 11 years old, but I didn't begin to write proficiently until I joined a poetry site which eventually changed its set up and lost its following. That's when I found Neopoet. I was trying to find a new poetry site that created the same sense of community that I had found at the previous site. Needless to say, I found it and have been here ever since. I've been on the site for about 4 or so years and have made some really good online friends here. So far I have one book of poetry published under my previously married name of Misty Christian - the title is Transcendental Gateways. I'm currently working on my next manuscript. I work in law enforcement, currently working on getting my degree in Chemistry, and I'm a mommy of the sweetest little boy and little girl in the whole world. ;-)
