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.
