Forgotten

Returning from the doctor you were told

Your whole life has begun to unfold

All you've worked for is fading away

Not even your memories will be safe from decay

 

An irreversible disease makes your brain wither

Like a dying plant stranded in cold weather

Forgetting the years like they've never happened

One day you'll wake up feeling abandoned

 

You don't realize you've all but forgotten

Those who surround you, know you are falling

They do all they can to help you remember

Your broken memories shatter like your temper

 

You scream and shout, you lose all control

You can't understand, you are never alone

We do all we can, we let you yell at the unknown

And when you are spent, we help you let go

 

The years have passed, time forever more

You've forgotten us, and everyone from before

We'll always be at your side, until the very end

It'll be our turn to remember, you were our friend
