Cancer Why?


No one sees the pain I hide the tears I she'd at night

 living in fright how can I bring her back to life? 

Knowing I can't forever haunts me

 I know she is cancer free now but why couldn't she be when she was alive

cancer why take such an innocent persons life cancer why? 

She didn't deserve to die in fact she was there when I needed to cry

 she'd stay up with me all night telling me tabby I'm alright 

I knew she was in pain laying in bed trying to fight it there's no trying to hide it 

I could see how much cancer was killing her day by day trying not to cry staying in support of her

 I knew it was a lie every time she said tabby I'm alright I'll be by your side 

those are the words I should have said that night before cancer took her life

 she messaged me I love you tabby have a good night 

I woke up to the news she passed away that night

 I knew I shouldn't have closed my eyes but instead I should have said my goodbyes

 I still miss her till this day but there's nothing left for me to say

 I lost what can't be replaced the way she was no Grandma will ever be the same

 till this day I sit and cry

 I'm wondering and thinking to myself 

cancer why?
