Oblivion
Hidden in the shadows
dementia devastates;
as memories slowly
begins slipping away.
When you cannot function
life loses its meaning;
and you become depressed,
dullard and bewildered.
You often feel like a
desolate derelict,
a floundering vessel
not even love can save.
Hope is soon depleted,
time ceases to exist;
only love remains true
within this state of mind.
When reality feels
stranger than any dream;
Alzheimer's anchors your
soul to oblivion.
