Afternoon

I do not dream of you anymore.

No longer do you inscribe your insignia upon my chest,
and suffocate me when I strive to breath.

You are no longer the violent vehemence of the sea,
but the fog as it dissipates between my fingertips.

No longer do I need poems,
to express how I feel.

You offered me words,
when there were none.

And I suppose I will always be thankful for that.

But you are no longer the ghoul beneath my fingernails,
or the ghost that lingers in the blinds in the morning.

I have found my own sunlight without you.
