A voracious beast devours my Husband Distraught and upset I must put on a strong face for him Every day I watch him grow paler and more thin At night my dreams are consumed with needles, prescriptions IV tubing and bad food swirl in the mix In his eyes I see an exhausted spirit on the edge The need to protect is a driving force within me Hospitals should be more sterile HE HAS A ******* FAILURE OF THE BONE MARROW PEOPLE The next school of medicine reject who doesn't wash their hands Will have them cheerily  burned off...by me On the inside I seeth and cry, throw a child's tantrum on the floor Unfair does not even begin to describe the pain he has endured Some would say to let him go, **** you** They just do not know us For my exterior is made up of stone Supported by a frame of steel I will never give up We have a will of iron A malignancy has no control over our strength Into the coming war of medical procedures we are defiant Strong and Worthy We will never give up
