Alzheimer’s

Folder: 
Society

Worse than physical decline
is the deterioration of the mind.

I’d rather watch your body decay
than witness your thoughts scatter.

It’s a slow descent into dementia
as you forget yourself and loved ones.

Every day the reflection in your eyes
disappears and is a little more lost.

It breaks my heart to observe you
become a shadow of who you were.
