Oh, my cancer
You have ten seconds of happiness
I hope you don’t spend it all in craziness
You have nine seconds of being sane
Then it will all result in pain
You have eight seconds till it fades away
Then you’ll wish you begged it to stay
You have seven seconds to say goodbye
Then the misery will engulf you till you cry
You have six seconds to say a prayer
And hope to be forgiven, ‘cause it’s only fair
You have five seconds to suck in your breath
And wish for a quick and painless death
You have four seconds to remember everything
From love to hate, from give to take
You have three seconds to widen your eyes
And stare at the ceiling in fake surprise
You have two seconds to bite your lip once more
And listen to your heart beating like a knock at the door
You have one second to open your mouth and scream
And clutch at skin that gave you cancer with a hatred that isnt really clean
