As soon as I felt it rolling over in bed one night
i knew it was my turn, my turn to fight
Trying to be positive, thinking of others who had won this war
But knowing not all wars are won, I know the score
I didn’t see this coming, if I did I might of run
Busy working in the day and at weekends having fun
But just like that it was there
No warning, no compassion, no love, no care.
Three strangers and I all in a room
The word cancer was said, it felt too soon
If I had known I was hearing these words today
I wouldn’t be here by myself I’d of asked someone to stay
Now one of the strangers is holding my hand
Asking if I’m ok and do I understand!
So I try and be brave and I leave not crying but smiling
But as I walk away my whole life my world is crashing and dying
How do I tell people what do I say?
These are not words I ever thought I’d hear not now, not to me and not today🖤
