Cancer

 My hair's abandoned from my body,
The chemo's never ending,
Breathing's so much agony,
My heart is far from mending,
I think my love is crying,
for he counts the days to go
'Til the last light grows dim,
'til my heart begins to slow,
I cannot do much to comfort,
Can't speak what I think of my pain,
'cause I don't want to scare the kids,
but it scares us all the same.
There's little time left,
'til I draw my last breath,
but for now, I hold it in,
For the fear of it being my last,
I'm so sick of meds and pills,
My hands are cold as ice,
Why, do I deserve to die?
and still, I cannot cry.
I must be strong for the ones I love
So I won't shatter their minds.
This hurts, I cannot kiss him,
and still, I cannot cry....
