A poem by Paul Micheal Fazio
My memory is leaving me
My memory is leaving me and I feel so very sad
I wonder if my life was good or maybe it was bad
Did I have a girl who loved me so and also did I love her?
I wish and pray that someday I could easily remember
My memory is leaving me and I don't know what to do
I think my only hope in life is getting help from you
My memory is leaving me and the feeling is a shame
I see a girl and I see a boy but can't remember their names
Did I have a child who made me smile in the most amazing way?
One who made me laugh and made me proud every single day
My memory is leaving me and I don't know what to do
I think my only hope in life is getting help from you
My memory is leaving me no matter how much I try
I find myself sinking away and all I do is cry
I try so hard to be so brave but scared is what I feel
The thought of darkness as my mind goes blank is so very real
My memory is leaving me and I don't know what to do
I think my only hope in life is getting help from you
