Poem Title:
Poem
Stage 4 cervical cancer, Is what she had, A long line of cancers but this one was bad, It wasn't by choice not to be picked, I would rather it was not , Every problem it ticked, It silently grows inch by inch, Week after week pound by pound it will pinch, When treatment begins, You prepare for hard times, Losing your beauty, Eyebrows and hairline, They are the side effects everyone knows, It's the ones that you don't, Your bowels when that goes, A cathata in place, But not doing its job, A trip to the toilet is enough for a sob, With such a short trip, No control as to grip, Every step forward , Much more than a drip, The pain is intense, Constant at that, To watch as a partner, And catch with the mat, I can't make it better, I would swap all-day long, For a human to go through this, It's morally so wrong, But it was the normal, The same for 3 years, Slow to progress , But lived up to your fears, I was there for my lover, I look after her dear, Her dignity out the window, My help was sincere, She began to pass out , If only for a second , It felt a lot longer , More than she reckons, You need to take notice, It's as serious as hell, This is a true story, One I must tell, A girl who had everything, But lost a lot more, Her ability to walk, Everything else was so sore, Please answer your invite, And go for your smear, Don't live your life worrying, Everyday in total fear.
