Not a Burden For Its Weight
Not a burden for its weight and daily carried out,
He who takes it wishes it had never come about.
Punishment.

Only Found In The Past
You will only ever find me in the past. I am created in the present but the future can never taint me. What am I?
History
Bed, Evil, Identical
What word can be added before or after these words to make a new word or phrase?
Bed, Evil, Identical
Twin. Twin bed, Evil twin, Identical twin.
Two Bodies Joined in One
Two bodies have I, though both joined in one,
The more I stand still the faster I run.
What am I?
An hourglass.
I Can Be Quick, And Then I’m Deadly
I can be quick and then I’m deadly,
I am a rock, shell and bone medley.
If I was made into a man, I’d make people dream,
I gather in millions by ocean, sea and stream.
Sand. Quicksand is deadly (at least in movies). Sand is made up of rocks, shells and bones. The sandman visits you when you dream (again, according to legend, I’ve never seen him…) and there is plenty of sand in the oceans, seas and streams.
Feared By Most But Experienced By All
I am a five-letter word and am feared by most but experienced by all. If you remove my first and last letters I bring life. If you add an ‘r’ between the third and fourth letters I am almost nothing and if you remove the first letter from this new word, I am your home.
What am I?
Death (eat, dearth, earth). No one can escape death, but many fear it. Removing the first and last letters leaves eat, and we must eat to stay alive. Adding the ‘r’ turns death into dearth, which is scarcity and removing the first letter of dearth leaves earth, where you live, assuming this riddle hasn’t reached extraterrestrials.
Throw Away Outside, Cook Inside
You throw away the outside and cook the inside. Then you eat the outside and throw away the inside. What did you eat?
An ear of corn.
What Holds Two People Together?
What holds two people together but touches only one?
A wedding ring.
