Cancer is something no poet should really try to tackle...no matter how much experience they have with the disease. It's a recipe for disaster. If you know nothing baout cancer, then what is the point? If you know everything about cancer then you're way too closely related to the content. I was somewhat interested in the first stanza until I remebered the title and realized what it was about. Make it vaguely about love or sex like everything else.
