Black Ivy
Cancer has no answer
Death leaves a shaky breath
Left feeling so bereft
Dark thoughts create a mark
Spent in life's wary dent
Saddened, feeling maddened
Cries of pain pierce the eyes
Languish in deep anguish
Seeping blackness creeping
Cancer, gloom enhancer
Prowls as pained patient yowls
Tears cut short hurtful years
