Cancer

I remember when we had so much in common, When I was innocent and you were lonely, You said angry but we both know You were just alone. You said I saved you, But I was just your cancer. You smoke so much, You care so little, You live to take the pain I gave you And exploit me. I said you saved me, But you are just a cancer. You must forget that I hurt too, That when you strip me down And put me on display I see my shame too. We don’t believe in being saved, Eventually we are all eaten by cancer.
