She cries alone
Naked,
upon ruby red sheets,
Bleeding, burning,
from the chemo therapy for her
cancer,
She knows as love,
Oh how it throbs of pain in her heart,
but she needs it to live
She loathes the misery it brings,
but wants the life it gives
Her tresses cover her face,
shall never disguise what she’s really feeling.
