Cancer

The ultimate divider holds her strong,

Her breath becomes a soft wail,

Her body looks wrong,

Her body looks frail.

x

Her eyes swirl with unshed tears,

Her lips shake with unspoken requests,

Her life ends with unlived fears,

Her heart stops with its last stress.

x

I died a bit that day,

The day when she left me,

It was the way,

She gave me that look of plea.

x

Her eyes had captured mine,

Screaming 'Run before it takes you too,'

The last message came with a fine,

And in the next moment she was frozen in time.

x

Now, I'm stuck in this hospital cell,

That same panicked look,

That same strange, sad farewell

That same affliction.

x

And as I leave,

This life for another,

I wonder why I grieved,

And smile for some reason or other.


I edited and toyed with my idea for 'Running From Life' same scenario and all, but a different perspective I suppose? Once again, my aunt is not dead, she's perfectly fine I saw her today. Thanks for reading!
