Cell Death


I watch as the liquid healer

is pumped into her veins,

going to battle with her body

just for the small chance to save her


At night while I'm sleeping,

I'm awoken by the sounds of her blood

coming up through her throat


When she thinks no one is listening,

she'll let out a groan

Not from the pleasures we use to have

but from the pains I watch her endure alone


Most know

she won't see thirty-four

But she still had so much left to live for
