When Time Makes You Forget

Her warm kind eyes have turned cold and empty
shes devoid of sanity when there used to be plenty
Her mind a shell of its former glory  
She cant even remember her own story
Her voice calls me a name that I do not own  
She's in a constant state of unknown
Her brain lives stuck in the past  
She's losing herself fast  
Her mind nothing but a jumble  
She speaks in muddy mumbles  
Her eyes don't recognize my face
She's not at home at her own place  
Her lucid moments are the best
She doesn't know how many are left.  
 
She doesn't see the tears I have wept  
or the memories for her I've kept  
She doesn't see the pain inside  
or the suffering I try to hide  
I cry that you can't remember  
The celebrations we'd have in the winter  
You think I'm my mother  
or maybe another  
But I'm gone from your soul  
and it brings a despair that I have to control  
So that you don't have to see  
the pain you cause me  
Time has got his grip on her mind  
and to his plan I am not blind  
He'll steal away all her thoughts  
and it will come with a cost  
Eventually all her time will be lost.
 
I'll never forget  
all the time we spent
Even after you took your last breath  
from my mind, you are never absent
I love you
