Francis' p.o.v

It was a huge rude reawakening

when you became sick and everything

that I saw was painted black instead of

in color. Cancer had became a beast

of a burden for us. I loved you and

embraced you in the best and worst of times.

We were stuck with each other no matter what.

It was a huge rude reawakening when I encountered

the grim reaper and his friends at the crossroads.

The spirit of grief and fear felt heavy especially

when I lost the plot. My pride and faith felt like

deadweight. Heaven refused to give a response

for my tears, screams, and questions that started with why.

In the absence of clarity and normalcy, I have been

trying to find the light and peace of mind. I dread the day

when you may become leave me behind and become dust in the wind.
