For every hair in the sink,
Is another tear stained cheek,
For every little sleep,
Passes a moment we could keep.
Every time you say goodbye,
I try my best not to cry,
This could be the last time,
I don't want to write this line.
I never said it enough,
That I too found this tough,
I can't live without your touch,
I just love you so damn much.
Author notes
My Mum is ill with a disease similar to cancer in the way that it works as cells attacking the body and she has recently had to undergo chemotherapy for this which has been really hard to cope with and I guess I just don't say enough that I'm struggling and how much I love her. Ihope this is ok even though its not directly about cancer but I can relate xxx
