cancer

by buddy, taurus - Not entered

Draining my energy
Siphoning it from my bones

They scream out to the unhearing
For help that can't help

My head's rejecting my hair
My hand's clutching at the lifelessness

My voice left me a long time ago
It took my mind
And palm in palm they strolled away

There is only space behind my eyes
Yet my heart still has a soul

It's cowering deep in the recesses
Trying to ward off
What's been coming for so long

In the final throes of death
It will be with acceptance
That I will give my body

For it was long ago
That my life went away.

Reason for writing:
