Seasons change as well as the stages of sickness
The hope I once had
Now melts like Spring plotting against the Winter snowman
The tumors spread too quickly
And I once sported a smile
With twinkling eyes like a child in the toy store
Now degraded into a blank stare
I don't think watering the wilted petals will do much
Just as the lullaby refuses to soothe the insomniac
There's nothing you can do for me
So please just leave me be
At this point I've forgotten how to feel
Like the Autumn leaves that forgot how to retain green.
