Poetry, April 2023 – #Escapril 2023 Challenge

---

‘But I don’t want to be a burden.’

My darling, you already are.
You have always been,
since your very first
breath;

We are all burdens
when we become those
who must Bury each other.
Mourn each other.
Leave each other.

This is the burden of love,
And it’s all what makes this little life
worth living
at
All.
