Hellish Nightmare
you were always there
to dry my tears
and play with my hair
now the time has come
for me to be strong for you.
your going through a tough time
never thought it could happen.
it happens to other people not me
is what your thinking.
treatments, check-ups, doctors and hospitals.
we that that was over
when your heart troubles were through.
now its a lump
a little over a centimeter in mass
but enough to know
something's not right.
went for a check-up,
leadking to a consultation.
worries, nerves, and jitters
with all the family in the waiting room.
you come out to explain
your in tears.
we know its not good.
the early stages of breast cancer
is what we hear
its benign. all in one spot
a week til its removal
a week til its gone.
so man emotions
getting hugged all about.
then i see her break down and cry
wet hot tears running down her face
scared is what i see and feel
i turn my head.
i can't stand to see
i want to be strong
want to be supportive.
like she was for me
but i don't know if i can.
SCARED.
