Chemo Song - Jae Jin

This cosmic chaos Underneath

Clouds hang down beneath

my heavens.

My tears fall

Like menthol

Tracing coolly down my face.

Alone, I’m left in disrepair

Take my soul I’ll lay it bare

Before you.

PREBut I come alive / as I let go

Our scars collide / as only you could show.

Through this violent peace, I’ll soar / With you / Have broken my heart / to

save me

A scent of bleach that rises up from

Crisp white linens meant to hug

My bones.

A somber silence cuts so deep

Beside machines that never sleep

To dream.

Can’t decide to sweat or shiver

My body’s weak from what’s delivered

Inside.
