In Her World


In Her World

She is lost
Forever lost to me.
For in her world
Shadows persist
Ghosts roam freely,
And reality never intrudes.
She cannot be reached in her world
For her world is DEMENTIA
Where all memories hopes and dreams
Vanish into the unknown
And from that same unknown a total stranger will slowly emerge.
You cannot return from her world
But thankfully she does not know she is there.
But I know
And that makes me
Part of her world.
