Myeloma

This sickness has robbed you blind
Of all of your strength, all of your health and your reason
Agony that runs too deep
Forced to wage war with an enemy beneath the skin
So sign your life to the cure
Encumber your body with the pills and the chemo
Weighed down and defeated, you've lost the will to fight
Only stubbornness is keeping you alive

Scattered are your thoughts and emotions
Compose yourself and fight your way through
This fog of sickness
Please don't fade away

Don't fall
There's so much more for you to see
From cradle to grave, your presence has been
Constantly infinite
Old soul
Find a way to revitalise and mend yourself
Cuz the hope I see shine in you
I'm not seeing it anymore
I'm not seeing it anymore

I feel together
We could take the weight
But like Atlas
You carry the sky alone
This chasm between us is man made
Hopefully we'll bridge the gap
Before the night closes in
And we see the sun above us collapse

This internal black hole drags away
All notion of peace and serenity
Inevitably your pain will end
Your soul will fade
Your universe will shatter
And time will leave you behind

Don't fall
There's so much more for you to see
From cradle to grave, your presence has been
Constantly infinite
Old soul
Find a way to revitalise and mend yourself
Cuz the hope I see shine in you
It's fading fast

You'll be fine
You'll be alright
I'm not waiting for the day when you will disappear
But how am I to stay vigilant?
When my alter of strength
Has eroded before me
And turned to ash
