Cancer

I feel you inside me.
Cold. Ruthless.
I feel you eating me
Raw. Lifeless.
You will strike me down without hate
Without anger.
Like a butcher.
Like a surgeon.
Cold. Ruthless.
Cancer.
You will strike me down without fear
Without remorse.
Like an animal devouring its prey
Cold. Ruthless.
Cancer.

I feel you inside me
Cold. Ruthless.
Like an animal tearing the meat clean off the bone.
