Dementia

Wish she were here
So she could see the artist I've become.  
 
Wish she were here  
To see that I'm not ignorant or dumb.  
 
Wish she were here  
To remember that I was that little four-year-old face.  
 
Wish she were here
So I know that I didn't vanish from her mind without a trace.  
 
Wish she were here  
So she could see what I can do with a verse.  
 
Wish she were here
Instead of dealing with that wretched curse.
 
I wish she were here,
But she left me long ago  
 
Succumbing to dementia  
Like a rabbit getting lost in the snow.
