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
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 :(
