I walk into the room that I know all too well

The floors are clean and people are in uniforms

Your bed is up against the wall

Pictures of us when we were younger hang on the walls

The quilt that you made lays astrew

I look at you your elegant neck

Your hair is pulled up with pins that I bought

Your body is fragile and you look so small

I still think your amazing

I had a call last night you took a fall

You forgot that your legs dont work anymore

I hope you remember my name today

Sometimes you are scared of me

My dear beloved wife

How I miss embracing you at night

Looking into your sweet loving eyes

I watch a part of you die everyday

I come here and feed you supper

Watching you struggle to eat

Forgetting whats a knife?

I just wish that I could take away the affliction

The one that's taken our lives

I need to go home now and let you get some rest

I will be back in the morning

Maybe tomorrow you will know me

Or recall my name

I touch you tenderly on your shoulders kiss you the same

My wife
