Radiating Love

Darling when you're sleeping My name I hear you call out Then you turn to me and hold me very near But I can't help wondering What happens after fallout Will you still love me, dear? Would you love me at all If I lost all my hair? Would you still hold my hand If my skin wasn't there? For I can't help but think You won't find me attractive When the isotopes render me Radioactive Will you whisper the sweet words I so long to hear In the hole that denotes Where I once had an ear? When I'm gaunt and exhausted Unable to crawl Will you love me then At all? When I'm covered in sores Would your love linger on? Would you still like my smile When my teeth are all gone? Would you hold me so close In a tender embrace When I'm sprouting a cancerous growth On my face? When these eyes you have loved Gently melt down my cheek When the retching and vomiting Leave me too weak Will you still feel a thrill At the sound of my name? Yes you will For you'll be the same
