The day that I found out that I have cancer
I was shot by a lancer
My life is running short
Soon my body is going to swart
My day turned to night
Darkness masked my light
Coldness entered inside
At the corner I sat and cried
Quivering in chills
Inside as the virus drills
To reach deep my hub
To strike me dead with a club
I stand by the window
Watch the snowflakes glow
Too bad there will be no spring
Instead mourning crows will solemnly sing
Inside it burns
Stenches clings and sterns
Taking life out of me
My eyes getting hard to see
I feel my blood boil
My veins twisting to form a coil
Getting arid and dry
Day after day approaching to die
The sun seemed too dark
The stars lost their sparkling spark
The moon seemed so dim
My face turned into grim
Sorrow curtained mine eyes
Hailing weeps became mine cries
Inside it feels so cold
Its my own life, but I cant hold
Soon I will be gone
I wont even enjoy the light of dawn
Even the sunshine seems so wicked
My heart is getting pricked
Painless needles pricking me
Invisible that I cant see
No living, no eating, no sleeping
seeping away, my life goes sweeping
half dead half alive, my eyes go weeping
