A Way to Remember. A Way to Forget.
My grandpa was Alzheimer's
And didn't know the day of the week
Let alone the last fifty years.
I vowed to myself
That I would find a way
To always remember
And never forget.
I would not lose myself,
No, not me.
It started out as a way to remember.
But after time
It turned into a way to forget.
When my friends disappeared,
And my heart was broken,
And the world ended
I wrote my story
Until my ink pen died.
And then I closed my notebook
And shoved it away.
Like my story was over,
And not just beginning.
