Blink

Cancer strengthens hold.
You weaken each day.
I cannot live without you.
I scream, rage, cry.
I cannot live without you.  

Blink

You grab me hard, hold
me eyes to eyes to soul..
You will if you have to.
And I know this is true.
And this truth holds.

  1. Yes very true, Victoria. Often we do just what we have to do......to survive and to live.........even though we think we cannot.
