Dementia

These memories, they criss-cross and scatter
And I don't know where they go.
I don't know who I am 
But I'd very much like to know.

I am left bereft and dour
That's when I can remember why.
My mind is expunged of memory
They leave me without a good-bye.

Withdrawn, I am craven 
And left to the mercy of this plague.
This dearth, it manifests
My mind, making it confused and my memories vague

I can't sign this poem because I forgot my first and last name
I am ever so tired of playing this eternal guessing game.
