Do You Still Love Me I Wonder

Do you still care for me? I am no longer who I was I can’t remember names I ache and we go to the hospital often Your voice gets scratchy and angry Often when I cannot remember simple words and facts, late at night it worsens I cannot care for you as I did I must carry my own pain best I can Perhaps too much the mother over time And I am fighting for small layers of myself They chip away when I am tired So you wear your bathrobe quietly Late into the night playing computer games And softly cursing as I sit reading mysteries of life and death Teach our dogs another trick I am slowing down it's true I see and feel your frustration Do you still care for me I wonder Life is not fair And death is a cruel guest.
