A Different You

The moment I walked through the door
I noticed you were not there anymore

The atmosphere was not very pleasant

Because you were no longer present

Confronted with an emotionless physique

As I placed a kiss on your cold cheek

The body I saw no longer belonged to you

The person left who I once knew

The expression on your face was gone

As the light of your life was no longer on

Although I am okay with this inevitable end

I wish it was your life I could extend

I wish it was you who I could hold

And listen to the stories you once told

I wanted to hear your soothing voice

But I no longer had that choice

I wanted to feel your safe embrace

But you were no longer in this space

I missed you then and I miss you still

Missing you I always will

Such a sad thing losing someone you love to dementia.. I watched a friend go through this with her dad and it broke my heart to watch the sadness on her face after her visits.. You grasped this piece and brought it out like living it. I felt like I lived it again..
