Dementia

Have i forgotten who I am

This empty shell like a living casket

I’m lost inside, in a sea of choppy memories

Broken up and shattered by stormy ravages 

Relentlessly battering my failing mind

Leaving just sporadic thoughts

Of a world I left behind

I’ve forgotten my essence, my soul

My whole is halved

I know you, I have a memory of

Yes I know you

Didn’t we

But I know you

And here you are to comfort me

Your smile, your smell

You love me

This empty body, this lost soul

You haven’t forgotten

Me
