The Topic of Cancer

Try as it might to humiliate you and take your self respect Running round your veins like the coward that it is You simply turned your cheek towards it Thus depriving it of its victory It did its best to try and bring you down But the more resolute you became And when you finally tired of this, I inhaled your last breath So that it couldn't uphold you as its trophy. Shallow gesture really, my Love, as we both know that it claimed two lives that day.
