A loss of thought in a moment of time, memories scarred and held in an inaccessible place which at one time was so clear. Forgive my tears of loss or my anger at words i cannot say, I am held  captive in my nonsensical world of who i am.

Loved ones come and go in my ever fading mind, yes my son or daughter I see you now,, I smile for a while, alas darkness and confusion calls revealing a stranger in my home. If i could find the words and know the person to whom i speak I would utter these words, I have and always willl love you and i hope you love me too.

Very sad and how true. An excellent poem it is very sensitive. Never take things for granted.

I agree with Tom. Did you mean for it to be formatted as prose though?

Hi thanks for the comment, I would like to say that i just wrote from the heart as i always do and this is from personal experience as my nan suffered and died from it and i hope that this is what she would of wanted to convey to me.
