Remember me

by Rodney Kirby   Dec 4, 2008


My mind seems to be in the middle of a storm.
My reality is diminishing, im losing my norm

My normalcy, might seem a little crazy to you
No one truly knows what my mind goes through

My sanity, is ever slipping, maybe on the verge of collapse,
Im not sure if there is someone, to help fill in the gaps.

My true love, don't worry remember this is always me.
Even If I don't recognize you and my memory flees.

She bathes and washes me an puts me to bed
She says I love you over and over and caress my head.

My memories fade in and out, like a fuzzy grey haze,
The ones that come back I cherish those days.

Sometimes I ask, Who she is? and "Where the hell am I?
Then I will sit in her chair and watch this stranger cry.

She told me she was my wife, for a few many years,
I told her I dont know her and she burst into tears.

Oh my God you are so Beautiful, like the day we first met.
We used to sit on the beach and watch the sun set.

Remember your dad didn't approve me taking your hand
Remember making love on the beach, so soft in the sand.

Dam im losing it again, my memory is hanging by a thread
Why does this lady keep calling me Fred?

She told me she didn't know, there would be this much hurt
She clings and she hugs me and tugs at my shirt.

I love her story of True love, about a man by the sea
She points im my directions as if it were me.

I love you so much honey, im sorry things are such a blur
Just always remember us- and the way things were.
