NaPoWriMo Prompt #5

napowrimo prompt #5: make your poetry personal 

it's personal, all right
the treasure box
filled with memories
yours, not mine
I cannot recall them from our talks
your voice silent
your stories fast faded
I miss your voice
your perfect hand

why did I not demand? 
tell the stories again
before it was too late
unnamed faces in faded photographs
I will never know who they are
were they long lost lovers
or family I did not know

why was I not told
the end was not far away
you fought your cancer
while you fought me
