Remember the first time we Met?
It was a splendid malignant day
You weren’t looking for anything serious
Had a no strings attached benign way
Working your tumor next door charm
Effortlessly made apoptosis to disarm
That was the day I knew you’ll be my girl
Shining amidst the neoplastic whirl
And so our passion grew
Lustful proliferation ensued
VEGF partied in our honor
TGF-beta crippled in a corner
All I am today I owe it to you
Memories keep me from feeling blue
In a lifetime full of radio-chemo betrayal
You’ll always be my one true primary
I write to you from a foreign endothelial
Though you don’t reply to your secondary
The reply-
You accuse me of letting us grow apart
But it was Distance who played its hand
Fate brought in a hematogenous spread
Lured & seduced with a lymphatic expand
A breach in tight junction, you just fled
Insecure of your paraneoplastic new career
Came true my deepest fear
We’ve metastasized, now I knew
But this primary hasn’t forgotten you
