Silent Killer

I lost my mum to cancer But hell, he lost his son There not suppose to go first They are so very young I sit here and I wonder How would I ever cope Mum’s passing was just too much Left my heart without a hope It was so long ago now And still the pain is sharp His son has only just gone Five years they’re been apart The memories of hurts here Feel just like yesterday Those left here without you Need to live another way And still I hang onto you If nothing but your name I know again I’ll see you This life is but a game I’ll hold onto my power Not let death have its say We’ll always remember our love Sweet kiss of yesterday.

A friend of mine living in Australia recently lost a friend of hers to cancer. Your description is so much like hers. You have good wording and rhyming in this entry.

Cancer is a most dreaded enemy of us all. Sorry for your loss. Who is the "he" that you speak of in this poem who lost his son?
