it’s such an ugly (cancer) word
i take you tuesday once again
a surgery another test
this can’t be real, this can’t be real
i’m dreaming aren’t i? aren’t you?
a nightmare vision somehow shared
this can’t be real. it isn’t real —
and you’ll be fine i think
i hope i pray —

such common things:
uncertainty and grief,
that weigh uncommon and way

past

belief
