She was denied his comfort,
he, his farewell speech.
Their yesterdays were stolen,
their tomorrows out of reach.
He such a loving man did not,
kiss his true love goodbye.
She went home sad and lonely,
he wondered who she was and why?
First he forgot the little things,
his age, the neighbor's name.
She tried to cover his memory lapse,
he could not understand her shame.
Then his personality changed,
eighty years of living gone.
She became a stranger to him,
no doctor could right the wrong.
something took a big eraser and,
wiped clean the blackboard of mind.
Took the water of intelligent memory,
and left an empty well behind.
