Silent Scourge

My heart aches with proverbial twinge, Indescribable pain engulfed thy spirit Debilitating soreness transformed me into wilted point Dismal abyss overwhelmed unspoken woe. Moan of anguish welled out from my soul Adversity crippled the future Fallen hopes and must-haves faded with the coil Entangled thoughts flooded my essence. Hope is such a distant refuge Safe haven uttered of deep prayer Evil cancer- an unspoken foe Silently metastasis and tissues torn in ragged pieces. Life ain’t be long Healing is such a distant word Agony nagged thy fragility Chemo wrenched whatever optimism is left. Nay, body won’t succumbed to trepidation Lest I’ll be beaten by the silent cursed Illness that plagued won’t consumed me In misery thy frail body won’t acquiesce.
