Mirror of Memories 'Alzheimer's'

This thin dirty sheet of glass showing a reflection of my past as my lovely face looks back at me like a masterpiece of art on display of who I am is now revealed as my mind tries to grasp White pearls adorn my long slender neck while gray curls caress who could have given them to me did I forget? They are so tangled in knots why do I feel so lost and depressed? My eyes have aged when once a beautiful blue now look so glazed as tears fall upon my cheeks like the morning dew at dawn my mind like a flower who can never bloom I don't ever complain because I'm always alone so why do I feel so vain? Downcast and isolated I have no shame even when strangers try to tell me their names I can hear the rain as it skips across my window pane but the sun was just there am I going insane? My mind is on fire as it licks in whispers as I try to explain What to wear for this warm sunny day? I'm so upset nobody seems to care it's my beautiful wedding day a lover of the past has come to make his pledge In the mirror I stand staring with snow white pearls around my neck my lovely face a masterpiece like a red rose in full bloom as strangers greet and give me a kiss on my wedding day as I try to connect. Do I hear the rain? Will someone please tell me my name? T Reams copyright 2015
