• If Only They Knew

    She loved him to death,
    But if only she knew,
    Of the sickness he carried.
    But the girl had no clue.

    He’d been sick for a while,
    Getting worse every day.
    Until one day they said,
    That he’d be okay.

    He seemed to get better,
    But nobody knew,
    That his sickness was spreading.
    They hadn’t a clue.

    He started coughing up blood,
    The very next day,
    When the doctors found out,
    That he wasn’t okay.

    The cancer had spread,
    To his lungs and his brain.
    When they finally decided,
    To get rid of his pain.

    The girl cried and she moaned,
    As the boy went to sleep,
    Knowing he’d never wake up,
    But their love she would keep.
