Joe (Cancer)

It feels like something’s
Dug into my chest
Went right past the bad
And straight to the best

It went for my love
That I have for him
But there’s something
And so it begins

I feel weak 
Faint at heart
I feel like I’m
Slow from the start

I want to stop it 
To keep it away
I want him here 
Till my very last day

I’m trying to save him
But that I can’t do
Joe please holds on
I’m coming for you

Well written, sad but full of hope.
