Arc
Not knowing Where illness ends And you begin At night Confusion worsens I become the center Of hallucinations You call I come These last memories Stop hurting me Why are you doing this to me I am nobody Not a daughter My face, empty Empty as your eyes when you asked me To end you You stopped eating months ago You were meant to die, months ago When the cancer was caused by them I wondered when You would die Your mind, a prison My last moments with you Get out! Get out!

Too late The light left Your hand twitched Warm still I cried your name Forgive me For not being there Too late I hate that you went Without me Unaware I cried your name Forgive me For not being there Too late Blush left A yellow hue A frame so thin I cried your name A cold room The TV buzz A nurse who barely knew You name Your living face Forgive me For being too late

A sharp snag Caught against In the snare Guilt clutch cut A dead end Stunt Slow explosion Give my early years back And I can begin Stretch the reject Punish, affect The wild wretch I beg for better Gnaw Scrape and scrawl Tear and trap Knot Stump slaughter Sanity pulled Taut Pulled tight Shot Stamp slaughter Knot Tear and trap
