Pushing Away

Pushing Away

 

You need to understand

This isn't what I planned

A simple little house, with a big front yard

It doesn't sound that hard

But we can't do it on our own

Especially since the cancers grown

I have no energy

So why don't you forget about me

Leave this hospital room

And forget all this gloom

I don't want to be the one to hold you back

Find another girl who has the health I lack

Stop sitting at home alone

Waiting by the phone

Just to hear if I'm okay

You don't need me anyway

Go now while I'm being strong

I'll be calling for you before to long

Stop with this persistence

Stay away, keep your distance

It hurts me to see you like this

Just give me a goodbye kiss

Go ahead be on your way

Don't worry I'll love you anyway

Notes

Having cancer can make you think crazy things, I choose to write my feelings into poetry, as opposed to acting on my feelings. This is a sad one but it explains how I feel sometimes :(
