Watching you sit there blank and lifeless
Not knowing who you are or what is going on around you
The look of constant panic sits where your eyes used to be
What beautiful eyes you had
So full of life and laughter
What is going through your mind
You no longer talk and your smile has faded
You just sit there at the windows ledge
Staring...
Memories wash over me
Watching you in the kitchen as you made the family meals
Smells of warm bread and apple pie filled the house
Listening to you as you sang
You were so happy
Sadly I come over to you to kiss your forehead good-bye
Screams of fright echo the halls
Who are you? What do you want? Get away from me!!!!
Help!
Won't someone please help me?!
Wiping the tears away from my cheeks I try to calm you down
Mama, it is just me, I am not going to hurt you, please stop screaming.
Get away from me!!!!
Help! Won't someone please help me?!
The nurse from the hall comes in and calmly takes my arm and leads me away... my heart beating… crying… breaking
"It is probably best that you leave right now and let her calm down. Come back another day and we can try again".
Walking down the hallway I hear my Mother crying as she talked hysterically to the nurse. "Who was that? What did she want? Why did she try to hurt me?"
A feeling of loneliness… a deeper sense of loneliness than I have ever known filled within me as the elevator doors shut closing me in.
