She's Gone


She washes away

I see her wasting away

I try to catch her,

But I know she's gone

It eats away at her body, day by day

I can't help know she feels alone

"WHY!?" I scream

No one answers me

Its taking her away from me

Please don't take my aunty

It ignores my call and takes her life

Like others before her,

It is an enemy she can't defeat.

Please give her back

But alas the big C,

Takes her from me.

I see her washing away

I see her washing away,
