Bunbury, 03/09/2014 |
Teary eyes stare blankly |
Searching for lost memories, a past forgotten and neglected |
The achievements of old pale into insignificance |
Maybe he’ll get better |
Tearful goodbyes become routine, standardizing a list of facts to remember |
One, my name is Thomas |
Two, I have two daughters |
Three, one is married |
Four, my doctor’s name is Alfred, he is nice |
The list begins to grow, bordering on inefficiency as it does |
Why do we fight so hard to maintain a life that is no longer about living, |
but instead simply about staying alive, almost for the sake of it |
My mind aches with contemplation |
On top of the struggling memories blurring a past I wish I could remember |
But only so I could, once again, choose to forget it |
I get flashes |
Feelings more than memories |
A smell, a touch |
My wife |
Was she? |
She is dead |
The more I fight the pain, the more it hurts |
Any motivation to remember left the day I forgot what I was living for |
Surely I had a plan |
It all must have been leading to something |
These days I see nothing but young faces full of a naive hope |
Aspiration I crave and could never imagine |
They’re looking at life from the other side |
Yet to be torn limb from limb by endless challenges and lost causes |
Glassy eyes watch the forgotten for another day |
I don’t remember |
