Cancer.
it comes, it takes, like a thief in the night
no worry, mercy... it has no heart
you cannot see this entity with sight
this thing that comes has perfected it's art
youre loved ones are close.. yet so far away
the hospital room feels as cold as ice
that hug, the tears, I could not keep at bay
i was selfish, but this would now be twice
you will shortly leave me here on this earth
you look at me with such strength in your eyes
I leave you knowing I've loved you with since birth
your eyes fade, the crisp morning sun at rise
although apart, we will always be bestfriends
my heart is at ease knowing your soul ascends.
