Cancer

The doctor had the answer
And the news, it wasn't good,
And with one word my world stood still,
And finally I understood.
What has been troubling me?
And what's been going on,
I just can't deal with it
Soon she'll be gone.
She was my world,
The light in the sky,
She was my heart,
And now she's going to die.
