Glass Wedding

Glass Wedding

A Poem by Whiskurz

She sits all alone in an empty room
And silently watches it rain
She draws with her finger, a bride and groom
In her breath that's on the pane
Only twelve years old, and already grown
The chemo caused her to age
She'll never grow up and live on her own
She feels like she's trapped in a cage
She searches the window for locks of gold
Her reflection announces her shame
Her hair is all gone, she starts to look old
The cancer alone is the blame
Her breath once more, covers the glass
As a tear escapes to her cheek
She draws with her finger a stone in the grass
Her body keeps growing so weak
With one last breath she closes her eyes
And listens once more to the rain
She doesn't exhale, the little girl dies
Overcome by her horrible pain
A groom stands alone, frozen in glass
His bride was laid in the ground
Beside him stands a stone in the grass
Where the bride on the window is found

Beautiful, there aren't many more words for what I've just read:) This is a wonderful depiction of the stress and pain that cancer and chemo can cause. I feel like I'm watching a movie inside my head... It's so sad...

A very touching poem, cancer is a traumatic exprience and chemo drains a person of so much, the suffering of the protagonist in this piece is livid, the poem is litteraly saturated to the point of over flowing with a very well articulated sadness.
