When it calls

I always answer

No time to wait

For this is cancer

Choking me

I cannot breathe

The cancer will never leave me

The tears of love are shed

On my hospital bed

The lies they fill my ear

it will get better is all I hear

I know I will die

Why oh why, must they lie

Can the truth not be said

Even on my death bed?

All optimism has faded away

I had no hope anyway

It is terminal and stage four

Yet I live just one more

Those who know how it feels

when you numb the pain with endless pills

I have fought 

I have tried

To this day I have not died

Weeks later my hope again is found

As I hear the doctors calling

I realixe I am no longer falling

The tumors are no longer there

I am now regrowing my hair

The happiness is coming back

The sadness is what I now lack

Hope should never be taken away

It should be kept for another day
