Poetry: The clinic

by crow messenger

She stepped on the bus
alone
Holding her fear
beside the hurt in her heart.

The clinic felt cold
as she unsnapped snaps
un-fastened hooks
pulling a white sheet across her.

Fists clenched and eyes closed
she remembered the words,
the faces that smiled;
we're here for you,
as she
felt the pain
alone.

She walked to the bus stop
holding the burdon
of alone
beside the pain
growing like the cancer
inside her.

wondering which was worse.
