Not Leaving

I refuse to let you leave just yet
it's too soon, too brutal, too much. 
I now understand why 
they call it "Battling Cancer"
Your body is a war zone,
cuts, and deeper cuts,
scars, and thicker scars,
bruises, and darker bruises
skin grafts. 
...
And then there's the battle we can't see
the raging inferno of hell
imbedded deep within your cells.

I need you to stay,
but how selfish does that make me?
