Lost To Dementia

Night of the Dark Soul; shadows infiltrate the gap between self and oblivion. You're in a scary dysfunctional place under constant siege; and cannot be saved. As reality morphs into a dream; sanity slowly starts to slip away. A part of you is lost to dementia; where confusion lurks behind every thought. Hope is depleted only time exists; and your frightened heart cries out for a friend.

Some what speechless, don't know what to say. This hits so close to home for me for my mother, suffers from dementia and this write was spot on what I see her suffer with. A deep introspective touch for me and an emotionally sad one. Thanks for sharing Emile. This helped to remind me how important of a friend for her I can and need to be.....Sharon G.

A poem that really hits the heart, Emile. We are seeing this happen to some in our group, and it is sad. Also, recently, two lost to Alzheimer's. So well-written. 7+Fav. Sandra
