Cancer

by Espoirfailed   Apr 21, 2007


Let's break the fist of fear,
And twist till someone hears.
Then scream from all the pain,
Please no pretences here.

So scream from all the pain,
And succumb to the life of rain.
Watch as every tear falls,
And know life will never be the same.

And as every tear falls,
Ache to breathe recall,
Long and empty draw the nights
I left you bawling in the hall.

Long and empty draw the nights,
My veneer is threatened by fright
Line up for the slaughter,
They know every word I recite.

Line up for the slaughter,
I'm your fatherless daughter,
I prevail only in the silence,
Come hell or high water.

I prevail only in the silence,
As my beliefs are jeopardised only by science,
I heard what you said,
No point of any defiance.

I heard what you said,
Now it's always in my head.
I heard what you said,
Are you forever dead?

(in memory of dad)

    I'm sorry for your loss.

    I loved the style you used here. At first I was going to comment on using the same word too soon after each other, but then I realised you were purposely doing that to fit a style and I began to like it.

    Very sad but beautiful.

    I have never read a poem quiet like this.
    But i loved it.
    I loved how your rhyme was "aaba - bbcb - ccdc" & so on. It was different and took me a stanza or two to figure it out.
    but it really made the poem moe original & i loved it.

    The poem was full of emotion being as its in memory of something.
    The title stood out to me as a sad poembut it was more than i expected.
    great vocab too. :]]
