Dying alone in godforsaken place by cancer
My heartbeats in my throat
My eyes burning,
My legs shaking,
My voice trembling,
My bones aching
and straining
under the weight of lives
that I wished to live.
Cold sweat rolling down ,
like torrents making ways
to the rough dried ground
where I am standing now destroyed.
Time ticking away,
making no trace back to
where I start to blossom
like a morning petal unrolling
to spread the fragrance.
Sun going down to nap
so early like a blushing nymph in a space,
waltzing with grace
giving the baton to
the darkness to enshroud
slowly over the world.
Is this the end ?
dying so young?
In this godforsaken horrible place
I am pale,
puppy-like figure,
Earth taste in my mouth
Flying remnants flashing in front of my eyes
Is this the end ?
I see no light filtering this gloom
Should I call a doctor
or should I give up ?
The time is up
I can no longer resist
Unknown little frozen monsters
gnarling my feet
I wish you were here by now
to hold my hands for the last time ,
and look me in the eyes before my sight blur
to assure me
`every thing shall be well
all matter of things shall be well`*
I wish you were here
to take my heart in both hands
and place it inside the warmth of your pockets
just for a moment.
Where are you?
All the birds has returned back to nests.
All the stars has awaken from a deep slumber
Is your car died in the road
or are you just rejoicing an other
after all my screws start to loosen.
I can` t call you
My hands so numb
The black curtain is falling down
to rest my hopes and end my chronic cancer pain.
