Cancer Isn't Catchy

Cancer isn’t catchy so

I can ride in cabs and

Work for a

While longer

Try not to

Resent the

Unaffected

Cancer isn’t catchy so

I can hold our

Daughter and

hug her when

She cries

And borrow her Teddy

When I need him

Cancer isn’t catchy so

You can stand

By my side

Eat with me

And let me

Wear your shirts

And boxer shorts

Cancer isn’t catchy so

You can kiss me

All the time

Lay next to me

And dry my eyes

When all this pain

Is just too much

Cancer caught me so

I’ll have to

Leave you soon

I want your face

And hers

To be the last things

I ever see
