A Dream Resigned

Around my waist 
are the stones 
I have tied 
The weight 
of choices made 
Diverting thoughts 
of a dream resigned 

I repress 
I evade 
Total disregard 
You bear the burden 
and I will carry on 

Throes of regret 
that course through my mind 
The pain 
of careless ways 
Divulging thoughts 
of a dream resigned 

I repress 
I evade 
Total disregard 
You bear the burden 
and I will carry on 

The price we pay for 
the things that haunt us
