You grew on me like a tumor...

I thought the removal of you would kill me.
To operate,
was messy

I'm left with the wounds
A deep, empty scar...

But,
I Live.
Expect the long one soon. This is based on Tim Minchin's 'Medical Love' (Named something like that...) it's an incredible romantic song where Tim professes his love for his wife, comparing her to terminal illnesses that would kill him if he tried to get rid of him (her)

But... I had the operation to remove my tumor
And I'm left with a huge ugly scar.

But I have moved on, I can care for someone once more.
And I love that person, as much as I can in our current situation.

As always, thanks for all the support

Wow. This is stunning! :D It just has such great meaning and impact. Especially the shift with the last line - I love the ideas you put in this poem. I'm looking forward to the longer version!
