I Never Did Sign

You are my person 
Why are you Ill
My mouth, your burden
Your ears, my pill

I loathe this concoction
Of you and I
But see, no more options 
You are, my supply

You are my husband
And, I, your wife
This is not just pretend
This is our life

This is our future 
This is our past
Me, as one, is a blur
The years went by fast

So drop this resentment
The load isn’t mine 
Your rage comes off twisted
I never did sign 

I don’t deserve bitter
I did not earn shame
I’m not your foe sitter 
I won’t bear this blame
