you can't have cancer
I woke up this morning and got a shock.
Mom told me you have cancer.
I just stared at her, barely able to stand
I see her mouth moving,
I know she is talking,
But the only thing I can hear is the word cancer echoing in my head.
It's just not possible.
The doctors said it went away years ago.
How could it have come back?
They say its worse this time and may not go away
My eyes are all watery and I'm starting to panic
I love you so much.
God, please, i'm begging you, let this be a dream.
I love you so much, I don't want you to die.
But i know it's real, its not a dream.
That is why this hurts so much.
