Back Burner, Alzheimer disease

I put it away;
it's safe and sound.
I've looked all over,
now it can’t be found.

If I really did need it,
it would not be from sight,
I thought at the time,
what I was doing was right.

I can’t remember
where I put it at all.
If I could…
then I would surely recall.

I can’t explain
my dilemma and plight,
My mind goes blank,
like to turn out a light.

I know this sounds
like a Catch-22,
I’m too proud to ask…
what should I do?

If you know the answer,
don’t explain it to me,
I’ve forgot how this started,
or at what point I should be.

I've stopped searching,
for what, why, or when,
But, if ever I find it...
I'll put it away safe again.

And... there was something else
I wanted to say...
But... that too,
I've recently filed away.
