Cancer
Dear mom,
Today I wrote a paper about you.
I really don't know how to express my views.
I listened to you night and day.
Hearing your pain, it kept me away.
All the times that you were in pain.
I was to little to understand what remained.
Sleepless nights that kept me awake.
Nightmares that will always make me shake.
It controlled you so well, I was scared for your soul.
I wondered if it would take you, no eat you up whole.
Help should come my way and really very fast.
Drinking make me forget, what happened in the past.
The reason I haven't told you how I really was feeling.
It's been four years but I still, really get the feelings.
My dreams are so recent, scary, so heart breaking, and sad.
I can't bare to tell you not even my dad.
My sister was there and shares my true pain.
Screams that will haunt us forever.
Death in her vanes.
I love you so much.
I'm happy you're still with me.
God is truly great.
For he saved my amazing mommy.
