How terrible are the tides of late, <br />How an untimely turn can seal one's fate, <br />How an MRI can bring relief, <br />But much more greatly can it give you grief. <br /> <br />So suddenly can your soul lose sound, <br />But surprise is better than the fate you've found, <br />How long did it take to regain your breath, <br />When you realized your life is a lonely island surrounded with death? <br /> <br />So unfair underneath the veil, <br />Your last few months skinny, bald and frail, <br />Black eyes, white face, gothic, cold and pale, <br />Hooked up to machines that we all know will fail. <br /> <br />So mournful are my mornings, yet meanwhile, <br />You're the one still managing a fake smile, <br />Even after chemo, the creases still crack, <br />I suppose you never really could hold it back. <br /> <br />How hard it is to say goodbye, <br />I break before I even try, <br />There's no way around it, you're going to die, <br />I wish someone could tell me why.<br /><br />Twisted Moon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inspired-by-sunshine/
