sweat runs down my face
i sit up with a jerk
oh dear God help me please
help me through this nightmare

i cant remember the dream
the fear i feel tells me it was bad
the terror i feel says it was a horror
oh dear God help me please
help me through this nightmare

how can i tell you of the emptiness
how can i explain of what was not there
the blackness the void the emptiness
oh dear God help me please
help me through this nightmare

how can i go on afraid to sleep
how can i go on afraid to waken
this blackness void eptiness is real
oh dear God help me please

I love your poetry. I saw what Alzheimers did to my grandmother and it's something I have never been able to put into words. Thank you for sharing this.

Now I know you say your's are all related to alzheimers but they cover a list of things. You are a very good writer.

Well written..

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
