A BROTHER GONE TOO SOON!
Damn CARCINOMA!!!
What’s the saddest word in the world?
CARCINOMA
I think of you, "Champagne Papi,"
And the battle you fought.
I barely knew you before,
But in those few weeks,
It felt like years.
Damn, Carcinoma.
The time we spent
A movie trailer,
A glimpse of life that left me hanging.
Gone too soon, my brother.
Damn, Carcinoma.
I remember your smile,
That first day,
I cooked a traditional meal
The simple joy on your face.
Two weeks later,
You celebrated a birthday,
But couldn’t even walk.
Still, you stayed hopeful.
Damn, Carcinoma.
I remember the last time i came
You looked away as I entered,
Cheerful words, but your eyes,
Your eyes told me everything.
I lay next to you,
We spoke in silence,
Your sadness, my heart breaking.
Next time I lay beside you
It was a casket.
Damn, Carcinoma.
The day Danny brought your results,
You grabbed the paper,
Eyes anxious, heart racing.
You were too smart,
But I knew it was bad.
The word that changed everything
Carcinoma.
No liver tissue.
No hope.
Damn, Carcinoma.
I still can’t imagine what you went through.
The family drama, the pain,
All you had to endure.
Was it necessary?
I despise them for what they put you through.
And damn you, Carcinoma.
You were so bright, so full of life.
Where had you been my whole life?
The day I got the news,
I had been thinking of you all day,
Wishing for one more chance to chat.
But...
Damn, Carcinoma.
They say you got this disease from your mom,
Who you nursed as a young boy going through the same thing.
Did you have to follow her too?
Only God knows
Damn, Carcinoma.
So long, Kundie.
Seeing your friends at the funeral,
Crying for you
There will never be another like you,
Bro.
Damn, Carcinoma.
