A
light fades; the thoughts in my mind lose focus.
I
grasp for my memories.
I
see the one I have loved for so many years.
I
reach for her.
I
can't break through.
Did
I say enough how much I love her?
Now
I can't. Does she know?
My
hands no longer do what I tell them to.
I
sit all day not able to walk. Not able to talk.
No
longer able to share my life.
With
family all around, I am alone.
Each
day I lose more and more of myself.
Unable
to reach out, unable to think.
She
does everything for me. I don't want her to have this burden.
Her
- I know her - she takes care of me.
I
reach for a spoon - but I don't reach.
I
try, I try - She feeds me.
Her
face - I know her face.
Her
love - I know her love.
I
am almost gone - I must fight - I must hold on - I'm afraid -
I'm lost.
Her
face - I know her face.
Her love - I know her love...
