I feel so helpless when I look into your eyes. <br />It pierces my heart with so much pain. <br />Knowing you'll never be the same. <br />I stare deep into your eyes, <br />Hoping that you'll know who's there. <br />My name I long to hear. <br /> <br />My eyes are filled with tears, <br />Thinking back over the past years. <br />O how your state of mind heightens my fears. <br />It can transcend through the blood and we can suffer the same. <br />We have no one to blame. Once a man twice a child that is the game, <br />the power all lies in the brain. <br />I ask the question, do you remember me over and over again. <br /> <br />Your body is so fragile like a newborn; and you are like a Rose among thorns. <br />You fail to know what is wrong because your mind is no longer strong. <br />If you had a choice you will not have accepted this condition. <br />Your mind has let you down, only the ones who truly care comes around. <br />True love is not easily found. My heart bleeds to see what old age has done, <br />The man I once knew now is gone. <br /> <br /> <br />Dedicated to my father who has the Alzheimer's disease.<br /><br />Mysia Hayling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blank-stare-2/
