Words Unsoken 💔

You are lost in your bubble
Trapped in that vacant look
I visit you endlessly
But you are like an unread book

Strokes have broken your dignity
Completely changed who you are
As you stare with no emotion
I am left with your memoir

Do you know I am your daughter
I doubt wether you do
Am I just another face you
Don’t think about
I do believe thats true

Poor Mother you are unaware
Of the sadness I do feel
Theres no magic cure for this
Its something time won’t heal

So I will have to satisfy myself
With my memories of yesteryear
When we were full of happiness
You & Dad, such a devoted pair

Ill health split the two of you
It dealt its fatal blow
But you soldiered on so gracefully
When it was my Dads time to go

You nursed him for too many years
It took its toll on you
All those years of dedication
Dad was lost in his world too

I came to sit with you today
I talked as if you knew
You glanced at me & looked away
Eyes full of emptiness so blue

Health is a priceless fortune
We take for granted when we are well
Yet only in a blink of an eye
It shatters our world like a warzone bombshell
