Description
gah. here's my [really late] entry for 's contest! it was inspired by my late grandfather who died of cancer and he went through chemo, but didnt make it.. i cried when i first heard this song, the words were so beautiful and true. This drawing is my depiction of them. This song is one of my favorites, it is quite simple yet very heartfelt and pure.Lyrics~
Turn away,
If you could get me a drink
Of water 'cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors,
My sisters and my brothers, still,
I will not kiss you,
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you.
Now turn away,
'Cause I'm awful just to see
'Cause all my hairs abandoned all my body,
Oh, my agony,
Know that I will never marry,
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say (if you say)
Goodbye today (goodbye today)
I'd ask you to be true (cause I'd ask you to be true)
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
....hey, i just sorta realized that this song could also work for blood!

Hi! I hope you don't mind but I was searching through DA for art that reminded me of my cancer experience. I featured this piece in my journal [link] . If you'd prefer that I remove it I understand but I wanted to thank you for touching on my experience.

This is so emotional, and makes me want to cry. Really lovely, though. You've done a great job of making something terrible into a great piece of art. Definitely favourite worthy.
