Cancer

I stare with frozen eyes,
His skin a sickly green color,
His breathing raspy and soon to die,
His eyes glassy and bloodshot,
His arms covered in tubes and needles.
My eyes felt the pain he did,
He looked at me and smiled weakly,
My eyes watered and I knelt next to him,
I whispered,
“I thank you,”
He stared at me,
As I slowly started to sob,
I thanked him for being by my side,
For being my best friend,
For loving me just as much as I loved him,
For never forgetting me,
However when I looked up at him,
The blue eyes I died to see,
Where under eyelids,
That would never be opened again,
The long beep of the monitor was distant,
My fears had come,
In addition I was left,
I was alone,
I had lost my best friend forever,
He had skin cancer,
I knew he would die,
Those three weeks seemed to fly,
I wish he were still here,
Maybe these tears would stop,
I know,
I will never have that good of a friend ever again.
He was my all.
He was my love for years,
But I was foolish.
I kept my love a secret.
