Notes About The Poem

Saddest Words - Bite sized 124

Today he spoke the saddest words I have heard in my life.
So much happiness drained from my soul as his loving wife.
Shattered my being and broke my heart right to the core.
Oh he didn't say anything like "I dont love you any more."
Endless caring and love had kept us together, we two.
Gazing with empty eyes he whispered "who are you?"

It is something that breaks a wife' s heart. After years of a happy life of togetherness,- of sharing and caring, when he falls a victim to dementia and becomes incapable of identifying his life partner, it is shattering ??
