Cancer

by TRAGiC BEAUTY   Jun 27, 2006


She sees them smiling,
Telling her she'll be okay,
But in her mind she knows,
She may not last another day

Her family's at her side,
She now sleeps in a hospital bed,
She has lost all power,
Her hair has fallen from her head

She smiles when her friends come in,
Her boyfriend by their side,
He grabs her hand and kisses it,
Warm and fuzziness builds up inside

She kisses him lightly,
He touches the top of her head,
At the touch, she slowly remembers,
All the words she never said

She raises her chin,
As you can imagine is hard to do,
She says in her meek, soft voice,
"I just want you to know, I love you."

He looks at the monitor,
I love you too,
Her last breath was taken in front of him
At least she did what she had to do

    This poem was so sad yet beautifully written.
    love the way you have written it.

    She kisses him lightly,
    He touches the top of her head,

    All the words she never said

    "I just want you to know, I love you."

    He looks at the monitor,
    I love you too,
    Her last breath was taken in front of him

    this stanza brought tears to my eyes.
    the imagery was perfect and the flow was good.
    best wishes
    take care
