Cancer I hate you



Cancer I hate you

Cancer I hate you
You grind me down
I try to be calm
I try to be free
But you come back
To haunt me

Cancer I hate you
You stop me living
You hurt my wife
Not once but twice
You ruin my life

Cancer I hate you
You make me sad
For being me
You make me guilty
For being free
 
Cancer I hate you
For making her sick
For taking her smile
For making me pray
To join her someday

Cancer I really hate you
