Cancerous

Excellence Award in the 'Spread The Word 2017' competition

Every hair follicle now abandoned your body.
This sickness, strives without remedy.
Weakness in your eyes, over-powering a sparkle once present.
Your body shape deforming, that of a moons earliest crescent.
Tubes scattered as prominent as the veins to an arm.
Frail and brittle, rid entirely of warmth.
Through droopy eyelids you seek, a last wish uttered.
Parched lips, you manage little words, barely muttered.
Along beside a screen with one singular line, flat.
A change of scene, no white walls.
However, families donning black.
Injected throughout life with love.
Through death with chemicals.
A cancer victims final days.
Last breath caving to a sickness, enthralled.
