He’s trapped with no escape
In his own little cell
His body the very bars
Keeping him in hell.

Lost in a sea of white
Strapped clinging to a chair
What dignity has he left?
Who’s to show they care?

Covered in white wristbands
Denying him escape
His skin stained blue and black
Distorted out of shape

The sharps disposal unit
Hangs loosely above his bed
Not an inch of empty space inside
Just years of pain instead

He’s body’s cowering from the inside out
It’s slowly giving in
But deep within this shrinking body
Lies a heart that’s free of sin.

Bloodshot eyes look into mine,
Searching for an answer
His mind draws a blank;
Defeated by the cancer.

His smile remains all the same
But his eyes have lost their glow
She prays for the return
Of the man they all used to know

He’s unable to recognize this little girl
He no longer knows her face
But she promises to never forget him
That her memory of him she will never replace.

It was time to say goodbye
She sealed it with a kiss
He looked back at this girl before him
And for just a second, was able to reminisce.

it was well written, only one or two slightly sticky spots- but nevertheless a  great and wonderful work of art.

Oh wow. This is so sad...and amazing. Wonderfully written And i wish you the best.

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
