A man and a woman sit on chairs in a room.
The woman has cancer and is going to die.
The door opens and a doctor enters the room,
Beside him is a nurse holding a sheaf of papers.

The doctor makes a joke about his age.
It is well-rehearsed and is meant to put everyone at their ease.
He then tells the woman she is about to die.
The man looks at the ceiling, while the woman cries

You bastard, Cancer,why do you molest?
The most beautiful and the best?

Wow, Caliode. There is some powerful stuff here. If there is anything going on in your life that has any relation to this, I am so sorry.

I think you could carry this out for at least one more stanza. It does feel as if it comes to a rather abrupt end. You don't actually need the last two lines-they seem out of place with the style of the previous two stanzas.
