Losing loved ones to cancer can be heartbreaking..I don't want to delve into it much, just a poem I wrote on the thoughts of a person afflicted with cancer. Frail, weak, dying, almost deadare my new names, my new identity A proud woman I was then, now I wallow in self pity My once famously lustrous locks, in its place now, is a notoriously bald pate My life is in such shambles, a disarrayed state! The body has shriveled up, like fallen leaves scattered, past their prime My spoken words too weak to form full sentences, seem to have deserted me, lost their rhyme. The chemotherapy fights a lost battle for survival, my real last chance Death in the meanwhile, gets on with its act, the final primitive dance My body still trapped in its memories, rebels against the grueling pain But then it crumbles, a cancer of the spirit follows, body & spirit on a gradual wane My world collapses, imploding, like a dying star A bright flash of energy & life, in the final moments,only to fade away, travelling afar Fragments of my memories, crystallizing into nothingness Leaving in its wake a life threadbare, each surviving moment seems a farce, a strange silliness When each rising heartbeat is nothing but that familiar sinking feeling The prayers still go on, for alittle faith, love and healing!Don't I have a right to live?I ask, with my eyes sore Then I realize,Life isn't an option I'm offered anymore…..
