Alzheimer's Patient

I stand in familiar places,

yet I stand not to know

I see familiar faces

I feel like I recognize yet I don't know.

It started when she died,

now I fail to remember her looks

how could I even forget my bride

all I can remember is through her books.

My brain full of life went degraded,

my memories have now faded

all questions are done to provoke

but yet answers can never be evoke.

All memories have flown away,

only my bride's memories have stayed the same way

the life in me is creeping away

after all Alzheimer's has it's way.
