Cancer Patient's Last Words

a dying cancer patients last thoughts

        

 

 

“Ashes to ashes” is all I hear

 

As death draws ever more near

 

Above me I see your face

 

As delicate as silk lace

 

The worst part of this, I find

 

Is leaving you behind

 

I lay here not able to scream

 

In this, awful, living dream

 

As I lay down to die

 

I only ask you not to cry

 

As the days are counted down

 

I would not have you frown

 

If I had one wish to see

 

I would have this never be

 

As life’s end presses near

 

Please do not fear

 

If I could, I would cry

 

But the treatments leave me dry

 

It’s a battle I can’t win

 

So here’s to you, my true kin

 

As death presses near

“Ashes to ashes” is all I hear…
