Old Age

Topic:
Grief
|
In the window of a old home
I stood lost in sorrow there
I was the reason they are living in despair
Inside by a fire burning bright
I saw the love of my life my woman my wife
She was holding onto a picture frame
I heard her softly call my name
Lord why is it to be a fresh new day
Why must you take me a way
I just cannot go on in this state
Tears they lay on the last page
Death should bring anger and rage
Not tears and lonely pain
Who made these rules of memory lost
Can they be changed
Damn I hate to see them cry
What is the answer here
I know they should move on
Remember the good I’ve done
Just because I sit in that chair
Out the window I stare
I see nothing not even air
Why do you keep me here
Let them put me in the ground
It would be better if I were not around
To remind of them of whoI was
Help me help those I love

Heartwrenching poem. Since I'm old I could really empathize with you...bless your heart, I can't seem to see your view1
But then if I walked in your shoes a day.
Perhaps I'd feel the same way.
My Mother lost her memory, and didn't even know me, but she said there was alot she enjoyed too. She couldn't remember the good, but she didn't miss the bad.
Please don't be so sad....talk it over with him, maybe between the two you could compromise, then dry the tears from your eyes.
Your poem was written with much feeling!
Sad, but true!
