Poetic Dose: Fear / Escape / Weekend

#365daysofpoetry Days 17, 18 & 19

i turned around to face it,
hand firmly outstretched;
and in a blink of an eye
it sat cowering in a corner;
i realized, then, it was
nothing more than a reflection of 
my own fear.
and i had conquered it




 Just two years shy of a decade (#somuchfeelsformyescape)
How does one begin to let go
Of a partnership so silly yet so real?
How does one even consider parting
With one that has given so much?
My Knight in Shining Armor;
My constant and silent confidante,
My one final promise ...
To set you free
Into the arms of one who will
Love you much better than I ever can.

Cheers to the weekend
And all the hoops we jumped to get here;
Finally time to shed the frustrations,
Park the stresses for another week;
Rest the shoulder and back knots,
Recharge the weary spirit and the broken heart;
Here's to partying all weekend
Out with friends, amongst nature or just on your bed;
Own the weekend, make it count!
For Monday we grind again.
