Mama's Pain

Look shes emotionally and physically
done with the pain, 
mentally had enough 
she's riddled again,

Yea it came back and now there's no cure,
This cancer this word is just not pure,

You've taken my mama's smile just replaced
It with fear, god chose this path
he chose not to save her,

The anger inside from me her daughter
I'm fighting back the tears,
Cos I don't t wanna lose her

Cos my mama is weak
she's still not eating 
She's losing weight rapidly, 
and keeps on falling, 


So has I pen my words to this page
I watch the clock tick tick away,
Each minute that passes, 
each second A memory, 
each heartbeat it aches
The countdown has started.

Hello my old friend, the darkness
Has come back,
So to deal with my emotions
I drink voddy
So I can block everything out.

Siobhan, I feel your pain. My mom, I thought she was good to go then suddenly she was taken. Cancer and its agents chemo and fungus infections, are heart-wrenching. The fog…the darkness - I’m all too familiar. My heart and prayers go out to you. ~ Kim
