F**k You Cancer

F**k You Cancer

A Poem by BenjaminJames
"

When life happens, and you are nowhere to be found

"
These past few days I woke
To a thickness of deafness
In a mute world
With dry eyes and wet pillows
The air I swollowed was tasteless
My heart stood dumbfounded
As my soul dry heaved
And my life just gazed as a witness
At a bay, ablaze with a sunrise
A world thirsting purity
Having lost so much of it
When you decided
It was your time
And before my cupped hands swallowed my leaking face
I remembered words you once told me

"Have a safe trip man. I'm gonna miss you a bunch. Sorry we didn't get to hang out more I've been having a really rough time with everything"

And I just had to be in Califuckingfornia
If only I saw your hourglass before the move
Had the right perspective on the value of a grain of sand
I know it wouldn't have changed the circumstance
But at least i could have held your hand
I f*****g miss you man
