The leaves show their colors
under their mask of green
away from the blistering sun
before the horrid cold
I made you tea
for you hated coffee
I smiled to myself
waiting to see your smile
I made it how you liked
two spoons of sugar
two spoons of cream
in the lavender mug you made
you were doing worse today
when I came in
you were pale
and your nose was reddened
I was tempted to tell you
how long the I had to live
but not now
it would hurt too much
i knew you couldn't take it
I couldn't bear it
you were still young
but older than me
by two years in fact
I'll been sixteen soon
but it doesn't matter
at least not to me
we should be in high school
before the accident
when I failed to protect you
you got cancer
I was in the city
having a interview
when I was shot four times
and left for dead
then you beat cancer
and was at an awareness meet
when you heard the news
I was dying
I still am
even since the day
your heart failed
and you died
but you're here now
laughing with me
drinking tea
while I'm waiting for death
you ask what's wrong
and I sigh
through the painful fog
I lie
I tell you nothing
and you slap me
tears stinging your eyes
you already know
you saw the blood
from last night in the sink
i forgot about it
I failed again
You took my weakening hands
into your own
keeping them with mine
spreading the warmth
my back spasmed
you struggled
to keep me still
blood staining your hands
you used the sheets to halt it
I felt my life draining
you kissed me
begging me to live
it hurt to see you cry
as I saw an angel stare at me
a scroll in hand
saying it's not time yet
I touch your face
crimson drying on my hands
and said I would live
and live for you
later
lying in bed you came to me
asking could I use a walk
I said fine
our boots crunched the leaves
returning them to dust
and I bent on one knee
i told you I love you
how I'd protect you
for you to marry me
you said no it
tore me apart
I still protected
you but the cancer came back
and took you away now
I'm twenty
and you were eighteen
I visit your grave
every fall
if you had married me
would you have died
as my tears fall
I'll never know
under their mask of green
away from the blistering sun
before the horrid cold
I made you tea
for you hated coffee
I smiled to myself
waiting to see your smile
I made it how you liked
two spoons of sugar
two spoons of cream

Actually there wasn't a general Cancer catergory, but I've lost people to Cancer and I want people to see this and pay their respects
