Confetti

As ivy spores suck strength from their host Gaining strength from substance within Cancer consumes human tissue for growth Forever changing what might have been. This evil aggressor grows and invades Paving a destructive path A surgeon's scalpel incises with blades Increasing my helpless wrath Radiate sites of nourishment Deny this invasive raider There are years ahead yet to be spent Not hosting this cell invader.
