His Demise

I am Scarred for life I shed tears every time I hear that someone else has lost a loved one Another world torn apart by this silent death trap 6 feet under is where he now lives because of a disease called cancer It caught us all by surprise the doctors diagnosis spelled out his demise and all I could remember is my mother trying to pretend everything was fine. The fear didn't come for the longest you see in my 14 year old mind I couldn't yet contemplate an evil that could defeat the unbeatable to me he was like Hercules always there to protect me I got so blinded by this image that before I knew it he had left me and till this day I remain scarred I keep his memory close to my heart I cherish the people in my life today and never for a moment do I think any one is invincible because what his demise taught me most of all is that you can lose the ones you love so fast. So never close your eyes for too long or they just might pass.
