timmy's poetry - 9. To My Disease
To My Disease
Inside me you live but my death is your goal
You crawl through my veins, my heart and my brain
No amount of wishes or prayers will send you away
My cells, bolstered by medicines keep you at bay
It’s hard to think of you as a friend
I judge you to be my enemy
So I promise now, my doc to obey
I’ll fight you, but accept come what may
I don’t know if or when you’ll become full blown
Then an earlier death is a certainty
I know I need to do better, it’s the only way
I cannot afford to remain blasé
To My Husband
I look into your deep brown eyes
Then you press your lips to my own
You keep me close and safe
In your generous embrace
I’m sick and tired, it’s hard to cope
Whisper I’m sorry, you deserve
So much more than
The future I behold
Your words sooth my soul:
I love you more than I can say.
From the first and to
The end, you are for me
