The unspoken truth in the title hints at the silent suffering surrounding cancer:

Its emotional toll, the quiet battles fought behind closed doors, and how survivors are sometimes left to navigate grief.

If you're going through this, sending blessings and if you've been through it, sending prayers.

Cancer. The unspoken truth.

(A lone voice whispers)

Looking at our wedding photo,
Crying every night

Where did you go

Leaving me crying alone, at midnight

With my head held low, in the dark, no longer in the light

But deep down I'll always know, you had to go, the pain was just too much

So it's why now every night, your photo I clutch

Crying
Where did you go

Leaving me
No longer in the light

But walking in pains red snow

Knowing
I'll never be alright
