Poem Written February, 2021

No one gets it
Nobody else sees
The way you are
When it's just you and me

The headaches and pain
The tiredness
The drain
Trying to keep "you" with what remains

I try to be happy
With you by my side
As I mourn for the pieces
That already have died

I miss my best friend
My partner and lover
Some days I feel like nothing
Wife or mother

Always with people
Staying busy
But oh so lonely
Nobody gets me

They say stay strong
Don't give up
Have faith
Chin up

The truth
So brutal
Glioblastoma
More than just a hurdle

I don't know how much longer
You can stay in the race
The strain is apparent
I can see it in your face
