My heart once full is now empty
love has been lost
which once was plenty.
Regrets haunt my waking hours
but it is at night they overpower.
Staring at the ceiling
with tears in my eyes
as I watch my memories slowly die.
Every day I forget a little more,
where are my keys
and did I lock the door.
I realise what is happening
cannot be cured
but it is such a heavy burden
that has to be endured.
Family and friends names
are becoming a struggle,
there are too many for
my dying mind to juggle.
It will not be long
before I forget my own
and then you,
I will finally disown.

Everybody has to pass through the same lane one day or the other. Some go early, some catch up late. Nice poem.

The path to the end of the Light. I am there with you. As long as I can find my way Home in the end, that is my destination.
