maddy macleod - Cancer of a friend

2014-11-07 2

It is sad,
When you find that a friend will soon leave,
I mean leave for good,
Never come back,
EVER...

Why,
Does the responsibility
Spread,
To us.
Let him go,
Or keep him for the last few months,
No,
Weeks
Of pain.

He walks into the room,
Pale and thin,
Sad.
No one person speaks.
'Hi, it's nice to see you again! '
I say after a silence
that makes my friend,
Uncomfortable.
I dare not ask how he feels
For I already know,
This may be his last visit...
