Alzheimers

Empty,
blank,
empty,
blank,
not able to think,
and with no words available in the memory bank,
no words at all,
and all I wanted,
all I wanted was to be heard,
but my memory is not what it used to be,
and these days I forget most of the faces that I know,
and oh, how easily they seem to come and go,
and no matter who introduces themselves,
their names are so easily forgotten,
and how frustrating it is to me,
yes, oh,
my bloody memory,
and this flipping Alzheimer’s disease,
oh, what a curse it is upon me,
damn you Alzheimer’s,
I wish I could forget you as easily,
as easily as the people,
who mean so much to me,
as easily as the people,
who mean so much to me,
who I do not wish to forget at all,
but you Alzheimer’s,
I truly wish that you had never existed at all.
