Don't Cry

I watch him

Almost ended life 

The quiet desperation

Health destroyed

His loved ones

Are now visiting

When cancer is almost done

They will sob

They will mourn

He just wants to say goodbye

And hug them 

Smile 

Don’t cry

Angels and stones

Can't sit down or stand up

It goes from back to front

Deep aching sword of flame

It rules all with iron fist

Pounding my left lower back

My eyes see stars through pain

Nothing works, hospital time

I wake her with the dawn 

She drives me in and waits 

Speaking for me, I only

Say hello and thank you 

Morphine touches nothing 

My Angel holds it all

Through seven dark hours

 

She watches over me

The two millimeter stone inside me
