Protocol
I don’t want to watch you fade, I don’t want to feel betrayed by this fucking life, I don’t want to watch my wife get eaten away by cancer, I bleed regularly, everyday but I can’t show it, I break under the weight of loving you, I don’t want another monthly review where we learn of the latest progression, I don’t want to mention what you mean to me, I fear we’ll both bleed out I’d die for you, I’d die with you to keep you safe, but we’ve been betrayed by protocol
