Drops of Rain

My memory is fading, I can't find my keys to my house, or to my car

I do not know what day it is, and I am not sure where I am

The sound of the birds, makes me feel I am alive

But inside I feel I am dying little by little at a time

My friends have all passed, my family is scattered, what does it matter

I am now in a room, with others like me, they say I have a disease

The brain is slipping away, like the rain in the night, it falls then it ceases

To exist for more days and nights, the earth becomes dry, brittle, and then breaks

This is how I feel, when my lips are no longer wet, too much medication has dried them

If only I could get ahold of time, I would change it, I use to be smart, but my brain now aches

I have Alzheimer's, and they can't fix it, but I am no longer alone, it helps not to be insane

I am with others, we play games, you see we're all the same

I feel lost, I don't even know my name, but in time, like the drops of the rain, I will fall

And no more tears, and no more fears for the depression I feel will soon become calm
