Time goes on as your memory fades, Alzheimer's eating away at your brain Stealing your happiness, Whilst leaving you frustrated, angry, in pain As the days go by names and faces begging to blur As the weeks weeks pass The faces and names forgotten Birthdays, anniversaries, family, non existent The continuing loss consistent And though deep down I know I still wonder Do you remember me? But to ask that question, Do I dare? Would it be nothing but a blunder So I wonder in silence, I hope in silence, I leave everything i feel silent The feeling of wanting to scream and cry, to hug my family and friends To say something meaningful and deep To make a fearless decision, Just take a leap Because life and memories don't last forever At any moment life can be severed All this never said out loud Pretending it doesn't exist makes me feel like I'm stuck in a storm cloud that's surrounding me, slowly but surely making me unable to breathe I feel my self gasp, As I say the words out loud at last Do you remember me? I say this to myself For now the feelings in my heart will remain on a desserted shelf I have to be strong for the family who has lost so much Do you remember me? This would destroy the whole bunch

Do you remember me
Time goes on as your memory fades, Alzheimer's eating away at your brain Stealing your happiness, Whilst leaving you frustrated, angry, in pain As the days go by names and faces begging to blur As the weeks weeks pass The faces and names forgotten Birthdays, anniversaries, family, non existent The continuing loss consistent And though deep down I know I still wonder Do you remember me? But to ask that question, Do I dare? Would it be nothing but a blunder So I wonder in silence, I hope in silence, I leave everything i feel silent The feeling of wanting to scream and cry, to hug my family and friends To say something meaningful and deep To make a fearless decision, Just take a leap Because life and memories don't last forever At any moment life can be severed All this never said out loud Pretending it doesn't exist makes me feel like I'm stuck in a storm cloud that's surrounding me, slowly but surely making me unable to breathe I feel my self gasp, As I say the words out loud at last Do you remember me? I say this to myself For now the feelings in my heart will remain on a desserted shelf I have to be strong for the family who has lost so much Do you remember me? This would destroy the whole bunch
