Just In Case

Just in case you say goodbye

Remember how we met

I know that soon you'll have to go

But I'm not ready yet

Cancer doesn't care who we are

Or anything we've done

It doesn't care about the tears we cry

Or that you're my only one

Just in case it hurts a lot

I will hold your hand

Don't be sad if you see me cry

I hope you understand

It doesn't take any volunteers

Or I'd be in your place

But still I pray that God takes me

And spares you just in case

I'm on the verge of tears. This is so sad! You're such a wonderful writer.

[Layla J Omorose]

Oh wow this almost made me tear but I had to hold it in cause I am at work and don't want my co-workers seeing me all teary eyed. This was a beautiful poem though. I really can't find any other words to describe this poem but beautiful. Great write.

[Leslie Marie]

This is a wonderful piece. So beautiful, and emotional, and strong. I love it.

[Amelie]

A bittersweet concoction of selflessness, death and love... and the beauty and toll of fatality aside. Such a lovely piece :)

[Mica]

This is so emotional – the flow and pace are both seamless and the rhyming scheme seems so unforced that the poem takes on such a natural feel that lends itself to the gravity/reality of the topic.
I'm not going to lie - I got some serious chills reading this, especially that last verse.
Absolutely amazing!!
