beginning and end

no
look away
hide under blankets
let it wash past in a haze of gone
small grey hours lost
not mourned
no

14
years passed
nearly half my life
no way to tell what could have
been if they were
not mine
and

8
years past
but 3 days hence
words were said and papers
signed that said
we would
be

2
for all
time and instead
here we are and now papers
again are signed
that say
no

so
shake it
off and face it
no more hiding from these
hours and days
time to
go
