I am facing grief I can see her standing not far off calmly waiting I won't look down or avert my gaze I dare her to look away first My teeth are clenched but I won't let her know And my fists may shake and my eyes may burn but I will stand my ground when she finally walks my way

Eye contact
I am facing grief I can see her standing not far off calmly waiting I won't look down or avert my gaze I dare her to look away first My teeth are clenched but I won't let her know And my fists may shake and my eyes may burn but I will stand my ground when she finally walks my way
I hate waiting on a prognosis, on a length of time, on cancer to finally take over again in my family.
