Not a Daughter
Scott Hull, Katherine Katz
Not knowing
Where illness ends
And you begin
At night
Confusion worsens
I become the center
Of hallucinations
You call
I come
These last memories
Stop hurting me
Why are you doing this to me
I am nobody
Not a daughter
My face, empty
Empty as your eyes when you asked me
To end you
You stopped eating months ago
You were meant to die, months ago
When the cancer was caused by them
I wondered when
You would die
Your mind, a prison
My last moments with you
Get out!
Get out!
