Forgotten [November 13, 2016]A Poem by Dillan CourtrightReturning 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 © 2017 Dillan Courtright |
