Hannah Flowers
it is so freeing,
not to miss you anymore.
yes, you remain within memories
but each glass that touches my lips
furthers your kiss from my mind.
the moments i would ache for,
your fingers drawing circles
on my arms whilst you held me,
now illicit no more emotion than
a dried pool of blood on the pavement.
a wince, perhaps, but still i go on.
you had me in a constant dream state,
ignoring my blessings,
gazing out the window in hopes
that you would happen to walk by.
the moment i took a look inside
i realized, i have everything i need.
you were never a necessity.
i would rather a full night’s sleep
than share sheets with a ghost
i hope you find your peace.
