[November 13, 2016]

Returning from the doctor you were told
Your whole life has begun to unfold
All you've worked for is fading away
Not even your memories will be safe from decay

An irreversible disease makes your brain wither
Like a dying plant stranded in cold weather
Forgetting the years like they've never happened
One day you'll wake up feeling abandoned

You don't realize you've all but forgotten
Those who surround you, know you are falling
They do all they can to help you remember
Your broken memories shatter like your temper

You scream and shout, you lose all control
You can't understand, you are never alone
We do all we can, we let you yell at the unknown
And when you are spent, we help you let go

The years have passed, time forever more
You've forgotten us, and everyone from before
We'll always be at your side, until the very end
It'll be our turn to remember, you were our friend
