Tragedy

Back To A Cancerian Memory

Back To A Cancerian Memory

Sweet chilli, hot pepper

Hot chocolate and it grew a little hotter

When I almost tasted the caramelised scent

Of the sugar in the pastry shop adjacent... adjacent, adjacent 

To the perfume shop, I sent

A ten million smile to my man and said

Lend me your card, I said 

Let me blow up the cash you piled in the bank,

Looking for an excuse, blank as the sight of you on the bench

When all I can see is a mama on a bench 

Lamenting the death of a resilient 

Who lost a battle against a resilient

Cancer that lived and believed you never believed in life

So it took it back from you and stab a knife

Deep deep hard inside your faith in life

Served you death on with a strife 

Between you and life.

Oh yeah! It was the death of life.
