Cherry lips ripe for the taking with a pomegranate cracked hue just to the left corner Spiced vanilla into twisted locks of dry abstinence in which filled a lusterless waterfall Crystal and star dust weaved into the midnight ink of dead eyes Slick satin clinging onto deadened skin, to bring out the warm glows that used to hue the soft skin Red oak coffin barely containing the life force that once lived in vibrant life, only now been dulled This thing, a person, the one I used too know, now a painted mask of lies and deceit Quietly glares back at me as I close the lid to the coffin, pulling back upon rocking heels As if I am the creator of this "disease"; conforming it to her form, breathing in her soul and life, the soul devourer, if you must Can one so minute as myself truly have become the cause of this abominable misdeed? Yet, should I feel no remorse as tumult plays me like a startled violin? A thousand dusty eyes watch me in pairs, two by two they came and went Observing me kneel beside her raised pedestal, with tear glimmering eyes as mine remain an arid desert The final riddle in which I cannot fathom, the spinning web catching me in its snare The deer in the headlights, a fish in the proud eagles grasp, gasping for air Disoriented turbulence on the inside, with naught a blink to show Where did the time go, as I sit in tolerated silence, plagues me like shadows Silence is not intolerable, but mostly, magnificently and implacably trying

Saturated with false calories

My mother was diagnosed with cancer, I normally don't share my thoughts on it due to lack of word. And this is why.
