Still

Still sets two places, but he
Sits all alone in silence
Sifting through a microwave dinner,
Single portion… not eating, just picking
Sifting through the papers, not reading, just
Sits staring, he really misses her…
Still hating the cancer that took her.

A reminder that Cancer doesn't just end the life of the victim it takes away any quality of life for those closest to them...thank you Tom :)

Tom,
Having to write about the loss of one's life, the one you loved, is most difficult. Sometimes it seems as if it always will be. I can feel the hurt.

One can really feel the loss in your words. A very moving poem.

A poignant piece Tom. A reminder that cancer has no favourites and no friends.
