Bye Bye Family

Cancer

I wanted to know where you have been,
Why all the sudden you've become so thin,
I just wanted an answer,
You told me you had cancer,
I couldn't process the words you had said,
Then you went on,
Told me in a month you would be dead,
That you would be gone,
Still trying to comprehend,
Standing there blank I saw your arms extend,
While you were hugging me I began to cry,
Realizing in a month my mother would die,
What can I do I was going to ask,
Before I could get to the task,
You had already answered me,
Saying how good everything would be,
I could tell that you were lying,
Because my father to was dying,
Already on his death bed,
More, my future I started to dread,
Because right there and then as the clock struck eight,
I clearly saw my fate.

I know that was a bad ending...But the poem is all true my father is dying of emphysema while my mother of cancer hows that for a kick in the butt
