I am cancer

I am cancer

everything I touch

suffocates

withers

Eat the ashes

and find your fill

poison by any other taste

is wasted by your sincere desire to

vanish into the hand of the shadow

hide from me

I will be your end

cleanse your mind of every evil intention

for I will get you

I am the end of all things

I will consume everything you hold close to your breast

A plague I am

I know for I have destroyed my own self

the very mirror casts away my presence

for even that which does not possess life

knows better to taste the fruit I forbid

a thousand deaths I have brung

I will kill again

it is vain to try and find love within me

I am cancer

I went thru some of your writing, I like it a lot, childofthedecay. Your work has a fascinating quality to it and I look forward to reading more.

I like this one- writing from the perceptive of cancer is certainly a different view and made a fascinating read.
