Cancer

My eyes are glowing red, My lips chapped and faded. My skin like porcelain, My life being wasted. I have cancer, I'm leaving you. Words cannot express the guilt I feel, I can never be made new. You said I'll be okay, Truth is I'm the kill. You said you'll never be the same, Just promise to come visit me upon my hill. Imagine what it will be like when I'm gone, I have to think now before it kills my brain. Dear brother promise me one thing, Think of me often,even when your old and lean upon your Cain. I can feel Death surround me, Slowly choking out the life. I wish I could do it over agian, To take out all the strife. I close my eyes as the darkness floods in. I feel my heart skip several beats, I cough harshly, I'm wearing thin. My breath starts to leave me, "Please don't go! Doctor we need help!" You scream. I'm tortured enough, I wish you'd leave me be! My breathing becomes heavy, My heart starts to stop. You sit here holding my hand,I have no more levy. I have no more reason to live, Not even you can save me. So into the darkness I give....                                     "Why did you give up?                           Didn't you know I need you?                                     Why did you leave me?                     Now all I am is down and blue." You cry as you try to understand. You don't know why I let go, You never once let go of my hand...
