it metastasized to your lungs
more chemo, more radiation
it metastasized to your bones
more wasting, more weight shed
you looked sullen, you looked drawn
you looked resigned to your fate
treatments go on
seemingly without end
I imagined you were fighting
I imagined you were giving everything you had
it metastasized to your pancreas
nothings more to hang my hopes on
you gave up
I think I am starting to understand that
you metastasized to me
