You Made Me Cry, But You’ll Never Know That Travis Jones You made me cry when You told me about how You couldn’t get out of bed This morning How every step is but a memory Of a life without pain Of a life without the Big C Of a life that no longer feels yours You didn’t see the tears Welling in the corners of my eyes You didn’t feel my heart shatter You only saw my somber face I stood there, still, watching as You stared at the white sterilized floor I cried but I quickly wiped the tears So you wouldn’t see when you looked up I cried as I looked at your x-ray Because your cancer-riddled bones Looked young again, but I knew They didn’t feel that way
-Travis Jones is a senior in the UNC School of Nursing from Raleigh, NC.-
