The Burden of Bliss
May 13, 2013
The burden of bliss
Is that it’s temporary
It fleets and flitters
As if in a hurry
And although it never cheats
The beats
In my head
Match the burst
Of our dread
At the shrill of it’s last echo
Maybe
Another day
Perhaps
Another way could free…
No! Nothing’s okay if my burden
Is barely breathing
Find what must be lost
At any cost
And let it frost over
With guilt
Find all that is made to confuse
And make us lose
What is never ever let free…
And certainly
Don’t cry over spilt milk.
