Malignancy

The 2 cancers in your life kept you from me.

The disease took your body too soon, too suddenly.

But the other cancer

The more insidious one

The one you lived with almost six decades long

Came between us

Behind smiles hiding

Jealously dividing

Claimed you for herself

Even at the very end.

She took that from me.

Showing her toxicity for all to see.
