Oblivion
Hiding in the shadows
dementia devastates;
as sanity slowly
begins slipping away.
When your memory fails,
life loses its meaning;
and you become depressed;
bewildered, and confused.
Your heart morphs into a
desolate derelict;
a floundering vessel
not even love can save.
Hope's quickly depleted,
for trust doesn't exist;
only time remains true,
in this facade of lies.
And when reality's
stranger than any dream;
Alzheimer's tethers your
soul to oblivion.
