The Incurable

I wrote this poem a year ago. But i still believe it is one of the best i have ever written.
Deals with the stress and agony of people inflicted with diseases that are.............INCURABLE. read on.

The Incurable

Behold! there's nothing to see
except the walls and a loose ceiling
but now I know that darkness
can have darker shades of meaning

The grains of time slide down
in the hourglass of my life
and all I can do is wait
till I see one empty side

The haze falls over my eyes
everyday, as it passes by
Mercy, Lord, I have no patience
Let me live, or let me die

The Incurable has struck me
The world seems too small to be safe
outside those windows I see
The waiting sands of my grave

The roof will drop someday
and my heart will go still
but what's more painful than dying
that I dont know when it will

Opening the windows
