Times Have Changed

Soon,

The white melts,

And green grows back,

And I am stranded,

With no time left,

And no where to hide.

So I approach him,

And he reaches forward,

But I back away,

As an ocean builds,

In my eyes,

And I find,

That I am gripping the handle,

Of my new life,

A little too tightly.

I see,

The worry,

In his eyes,

But I just hand over,

The slip of paper,

That rests,

Between us,

And then,

A look,

Quickly passes through his eyes,

As they scan the page,

And turn dark,

And all of a sudden,

It's as if,

I'm back in time,

During the first yell,

He ever through my way,

Except,

This time,

I don't sob,

But instead,

Let the silent ocean,

Run down my face,

As I walk out the door,

And I don't look back,

Because It will hurt,

Too much,

Knowing,

That this time,

I will not,

See him,

Again.
