Letter to My Lymphoma Latin Lover

Remember when I said I loved you and you said that’s the problem? Maybe the problem would be if you loved me back.

I love your back. Sometimes I feel like I’ve got your back. I wrote about pressing my body against your back and never heard back. And I know you want me to get off your back. But what if I won’t back down like the Tom Petty song. What if I stand my ground?

I wanted to sleep over when I got back.

But you fought me off to get off your back and even though I won’t back down, you say you have to cut me loose. Oh, here we go back…

With my back up against the wall, I am barking back.

Write back.
