Goodbye My Four-Lettered Lover…

    There were times when I just didn’t want to be left alone, so it was your company I kept, but we have grown apart and now it is time for us to part ways.  I will not say it will be easy, and expect there will be a few hiccups, but it will be necessary for me if I am to become stronger to attain my true potential. For years, FEAR, my feet followed yours down long and rocky roads into many avenues of darkness. Though often off balance, I kept pace with you thinking you had a plan. Maybe it had something to do with your intoxicating whispers in my ear, assuring me you knew the way out of this madness, but what you were really doing was drawing me deeper into that indigo abyss.  When I saw glimmers of light it was your continuous shadows that was draped in a shepherd’s cloak, pulling me from enlightenment by keeping my thoughts trapped in your tight embrace.

    Your hands went about sculpting my future using the discarded bitter parts of my past; sculptures so enormous, they had the ability to cast darkness over the joys of my present. Oh my black widow lover, you sank your fangs deep into my dreams devouring them from the inside out. Your poison coursed through my veins and leaked into the marrow of my bones and had conversations with my DNA. I see now it was you who sat steady at the wheel of my aspirations with your broken and twisted compass. You served your role well, but now I release you. FEAR, I release you! I know you would like for me to say that you’ll be missed, but this is far from the truth. I shake the shackles loose from around my heart, my mind, my soul, for you serve no purpose toward my higher good. Go now, I release and pray our paths shall never meet again.
