forgetful (continuous haiku)


What if you lost it, 

Small at first but widening 

the gaps in your mind. 

 

memories you lose  

a sinking ship fulls of holes 

the holes in your life  

 

the world lost to you

maybe then you would get it 

if remembering

 

was still an option 

but It's not for my heart 

haunted by this feeling 

 

that I have lost much  

but am unable to recall 

anything any more 

 

as my mind falls away 

and memory fails me again 

repeating words again 

 

forgetting it all 

is ruining what is left 

of my tired life.
