Is that all? You sure? Alright.

I come back to find you on the floor
Go you said I'll be fine
You lied
You're not fine
Look at you now
Laying on the floor
like you're getting ready for a massage.
Are you? Guess not.
You never liked the floor
Come on old woman don't play games.
This is not funny, not something to joke about.

I’ve seen your change,
This is not a game.
You lost your hair, it dropped like flies.
It was not fun to see your scalp.
One heart down!
You lost your smile, it vanished like Yoda.
There’s no joy in a frown.
Oh no, two!
You lost your love, it left you all alone here with me.
The darkness it grows, and grows then it’s-
Game over!

Is that why you're like this? Come on old woman.
Look, look, a chance to revive your heart!
No, don’t let it go! Grab it! Grab it now!
Let's get up and about.
Don’t let your body down.
Let’s get up and about.
You need to walk around.
You always said the world doesn't stop spinning.
It goes on and on, and on and on,
this circle just doesn’t stop.
You always said people will leave
as people will come.
But you are not people,
you cannot leave.

What am I going to do now? Come back old woman.
How could you leave me? Come back old woman.
Face your daughter with the emotions you muster.
The chemo emasculated you, not me
so come back to me old woman.
Don't hide away in your box!
Don't cease to exist just like that!
Not now!
Come on.
Come out.
Come back.
I need you…
My old woman
Critique me as you shall, and I will heed your advice. HaLp me sharpen my writing thanks! **
