Cancer

We have been here before

Waving from an open door

This is the last time i’ll say goodbye

Just grow up and let me die

It was 3 months of chemo

3 weeks of drugs

A lifetime in the hospital

And now I’ve done all I could have done

Just say goodbye to me

Forget about me now

I don’t have much time

And that seems to create distance somehow

It’s OK to be mad at me

I know this was sudden

Just take the kids and leave

They can’t see me this low

They say I have a few months

Before I have to go

This is the last visit

This is the last call

I am already dead

If you believe what the doctors said

Just remember the good days

The ones not long ago

Don’t think of me now

And the way I explode

Life is painful

And I am a mess

What's the use in adding to your stress

Just one last wave from my door

That is all I have left

Keep away from me

Let me die in bed

Every one knows this, but none of them really cares.... they don't care about themselves but they should care about their families....
