Dying Light

I never thought I’d see the day,

That you forget what to say.

But I remember,

What you were like way before.

I’m in front of you on the chair,

No thoughts, just a vacant stare.

But I know,

You’re trying as best as you can.

I’ll help make you recall again,

Even though I know you can’t regain.

But I wish,

You weren’t the one suffering this—

And I watch,

As your mind struggles to stay.

And I watch,

As you lose yourself day by day.

And I watch,

As your memory slips away.
