Painful Truth.

about my best friend, whose mum has cancer.

 My friend,

He’s in living hell.

Death is slowly staking its claim on his mother.

I worry, I stress, I pity.

But most of all,

I love.

I heap love on him,

In unnoticeable ways.

It’s my only gift to him.

It’s inadequate.

It makes me feel guilty,

Guilty that I’m so selfish with my life,

While he has hell to remember from dawn to dusk.

And all I give him is love.

While we pretend it’s not real.

Feign naivety.

Because the truth is just too painful.
