They tell me the news
I may have years or just weeks
They won't tell me anything for sure
It's against the rules they have
I can't look at my family
My lover won't touch me
Friends can't come over
People are scared to get close
It's only been a week so far
I grow weaker by the hour it seems
I finally get an answer
And it turns into my death sentence
A few more weeks and now I'm alone
This stupid tumor has destroyed everything
Making me weak and tired all the time
Everyone not understanding what's happening
I'm alone now
Everyone tried to come back
I pushed them away
Will they hurt as much when I die?
They came back
The past month has been hell
But they came back
Was it only to see me die?
My family cries at the news
My lover won't let me go
My friends can't believe it
I had them all there when I died
They dress me in a suit
They all knew I hated dresses
Everyone using everyone else
Crying at my loss
Soon the tears of grief turn to tears of joy
They celebrate that I am no longer in pain
I watch from above at their party
Knowing that they were there for me till the bitter end

oh wow.. this is really great.
I can really relate to parts of this.. I try to push people away just because I don't want them to hurt.. I guess it may not be the right way of doing it.. but for now it's what I feel I have to do.
Thanks so much for entering!
