Taking life

You’ve touched my head
My soul,  my heart
From earth you’ve made 
My loved ones part.

You sneak you burn
You grow inside
Move part to part 
You change your mind.

You  choose your victim
You set your path,
You don’t give a shot
For the aftermath. 

A growth that spreads 
From a tiny seed 
Then suddenly there 
No warning to heed.

Stop taking my family, my friends 
They are mine,
You take too many
And don’t give us time.

You come you snatch 
Our hearts you tear, 
You hurt my loves ones
And cause despair.

We wear our hearts
Upon our sleeve,
To show you strength 
To make you leave.

But you won’t go
Sunk in your claws,
Cause tears and upset 
Behind closed doors.

The fear you show 
The pain you share,
My friends my loves ones
Caught in your snare.

Why take the good ones?
Leave the crap til last, 
You attack and take them
Way too fast.

I bet you are counting 
Keeping score 
I wish you were gone 
To be no more.

You are a coward 
You show no grace, 
Come on cancer
Show your face..
