IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH

IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH

Doctor said only one was cancerous

But I decided to get rid of them both

Weโ€™ll face this fight together

Hand in hand into the struggle

In sickness and in health

Promises you made to me

Youโ€™d stand beside me all the way

Strengthen our binding tie

To keep our family steadfast

In sickness and in health

They shaved my head today

I left the tresses on the floor

Came home hoping for some TLC

But you rejected my new look

In sickness and in health

Now I am dying little by little

From the cancer and from your

Emotional desertionโ€ฆwhere are you

Disappearing into your amber liquor

In sickness and in health

Youโ€™ve disconnected completely

I canโ€™t find the man I married

No tenderness can I expect

Itโ€™s time for you to leave, good-bye

In sickness and in health

Thanks...I was watching a program on women undergoing cancer treatment. ย There was one instance where the woman's husband eventually simply "tuned out". ย She put him out of the house and she died a few months later. ย
