Silent Killer
laying her bed she thinks
why would this happen?
my father's dying!
"he's dying I say!"
with tear stained eyes she prayed
"he loves"
"why would this happen?!!!"
he'd would walk in and kiss her cheek
she can remember
as they turn to dreams
she cries and drops on her knees
cancer the silent killer
killing her father
cancer
she prays again
she sees her father for the last time that night
he says he loves her and she'll be fine
prays
has a dream
he's safe
in heaven
cancer is no longer his silent killer
