The Unforgivable Disease [Cancer's Curse]

by Weeping Wolf   Oct 29, 2006


[Sad music begins to play...]

Now please look away
I'm counting my days
Oh how I miss you
but I cannot kiss you
for this unforgivable disease
has consumed and covered me
it rests tremendously on my chest
as it suffocates every breath.

Soft touches and sweet tastes I'll miss
All I wanted was love all I got was this
Knowing now I'll never marry...
as the blood drains from my body
and the worst part is
this heart that is
dying with me
is leaving you.

as I begin to tremble
pass the moments to go
could you bring me some water?
for my lips and eyes have faded
worn out and torn like old paper
you seem so far away...
but I feel you sit beside me.

Soft touches and sweet tastes I'll miss
All I wanted was love all I got was this
Knowing now I'll never marry...
as the blood drains from my body
and the worst part is
this heart that is
dying with me
is leaving you.

Call my dear mother
and my sweet brother
and papa too if he cares
and please wont you bury me
in my most beautiful dress
and cover it in my favorite colors
ebony black and midnight blue
and remember that i love you.

Soft touches and sweet tastes I'll miss
All I wanted was love all I got was this
Knowing now I'll never marry...
as the blood drains from my body
and the worst part is
this heart that is
dying with me
is leaving you.

Oh please turn away...
for I'm awful to look at now
the chemo's been killing me
my hair has fled from my body
what once was beauty now ruined
what once was pure now wrecked

Soft touches and sweet tastes I'll miss
All I wanted was love all I got was this
Knowing now I'll never marry...
as the blood drains from my body
and the worst part is
this heart that is
dying with me
is leaving you.

I miss...I miss you.
one last kiss so you
won't forget my heart.
because the worst part
is that my heart
has to leave you.
