Alzheimer's Domino Effect Chapter 2
Live up to your highest potential
Live for the future
Now is your time to shine
Hoping hopelessly for you to be mine…
But…
I’m hesitant…unmovable air…
Leaves us in this despicable despair
Keep it down in there
Just a hair…
Let us love birds sing with each other
In harmony…or in one marvelous melody…
I have some good connections with my elderly companions…
But, most of them stink like rotting onions…
Sorry to say…moreover, they are just downright dirty…
I am the only one in this institution that keeps himself clean
I may be the flirty type (if I do say so myself), but I’m lugubrious and languorous
I am lethargic and doleful
My mug is half empty and it’s mighty pitiful
Foolish and wise I have come to be
So please, don’t leave me…
I do love you, fair lady
You’re not bias and you’re so rational
I’m such the opposite…I think too irrational
But, you…your pale skin…your silky, graying hair…
It sways in the air-conditioned dormitories…
I wish, when I am retired, that we are at the beach
Hoping to see, with these weary, silver eyes, your gentle, gracious hair blow vibrantly with the breeze…
You are the one that I yearn for…but, you’re out of reach
Because you left me for another weirdo that sat next to me…
My so-called buddy once upon a time…
Now, he stares at the television
I am bold,
Though old...
