Speechless

Two years my junior
The victim of bad advice
That you took because it was easier to swallow
Until you could no longer

Your tongue, cancer
The surgery, worse than expected
Your tongue, taken

How will you finish law school?
I protest

Oh, how I hate waking you
To remind you
That everything has changed
