Now a Burden

When you smile now I die a little inside
Knowing because it’s him and I subside
You once gave the gift only loving me
Were only there ways setting this curse free

  We try to rewrite the past but to what end? Even a chisel won’t erase what’s set in stone. Thanks for the visit and the comment.
