Cancer




There’s a man sitting in a dark corner of a room
All alone

He sits in his living room
No light

Just crying

He can feel this monster growing inside of him
Taking over his body

He just sits huddled in the darkness of a corner of an unlit living room

Hoping what the doctor said wasn’t true

He cries
And cries
And cries

The shine of his tears give him hope for life
The moonlight shining behind the shade light his tears
The only light in the room of this unlit house

He sits
And makes constant calls to the only person who knows him well enough

The Doctor

And calls and calls and calls

He lives alone

He feels hope leaving the dark room of this dark house

And he just sits

He sits and sits and sits
Until he becomes a shadow in the dark and fades away like the light

Of this dark, unlit room of an even darker house.

  1. This was really deep and brought about a scary feeling. The ending was amazing in a sense of how you wrote it mentioning the fading away like the light. Really deep and scary, but overall really intense. Great job.
