Dementia

It has been so long
But my frail memory unfolds
Reflecting the pictures
Of forgotten dreams

I have been so strong
But life has been
So complicated
Down on my knees
I collect the pieces of myself

Every second
A shade of reality

Struggling
Breathless
In my own sanity

Give me time
Erase my sorrow
Close my eyes
I don't want to follow

Why?
Just why do we lose ourselves
In vanity?

Another day
Has fade away
Like a trace
Upon the sand

I am screaming
But no one is here
To save me

Every second
A shade of reality

Struggling
Breathless
In my own sanity

Give me time
Erase my sorrow
Close my eyes
I don't want to follow

Why?
Just why do we lose ourselves
In vanity?

Give me time
