Underneath all those layers
With all those whispered prayers
Then when only touch could tell
Where all the secrets dwell
Back then when it was smaller
Not all worth any flutter
Dormant for years it there lay
Noticed only some a day
Growing, so ever growing
And now urgency reaching
Now here of this magnitude
not even in solitude
A tumor, only benign
It was no worry of mine
A low chance of harm yet still
But some it could even kill
As the worry grew longer
Two more have emerged stronger
That by merging together
But still than the first lesser
Especially with the pain
Impossible to contain
I am in luck however
Will be removed forever
To rid of all the worry
pain will be momentary
So this is then a goodbye
Not in a way to then cry
Rather to a companion
Throughout this long union
In a Bittersweet way
Free of whom I be now may
