An ode to you

I chase you my fear, it doesn't mean I am not afraid
Yet
In each moment I chase you, wishing for closure
You have been a master, you have broken me often and how
Yet today I seek to find you,  to stare into your steely eyes

In my years of pursuit you have been elusive, yet ever present
Always lurking in the shadows of love and belonging
You have often held me captive in my unrelenting doubts
I refuse to let you win, I refuse to be your victim by choice

Someday I shall run into you, my darling darling fear
When I do so, I shall hold you by your neck and stare at you
Ask you to be mindful, for I am no longer your pawn
Then hold you one last time and passionately  kiss you goodbye
