Love Poem: Cancer

Cancer

How do you comfort the unknown?

Is it some form of diabolic presence
or fate?
What are we destined for

and to suffer through?

Isn't agony enough?

Isn't fate rainbows, butterflies and happy thoughts?

Think again, darling.

The world is strenuous,
problematic
and troublesome

a series of a thousand empty promises

a cure for something devastating.

I can't fathom.

I can't comprehend

or see this crucial lesson

how and why,
why and how

do emotions lead to suffering,
an arbitrary solution-

How does one believe in destiny
when it destructs 

and leaves you wondering why
