Dementia Poem
Turning true-blue loyal friends into treacherous strangers.
Dementia
by Max Wallack
It gallops inwards silently on powerful hoofs
Snatching sweet, precious, forgotten memories
Turning true-blue loyal friends into treacherous strangers
Clogging synapses alongside emptiness
Crumbling trust into excruciating paranoia
With bleak darkness comes the anxious wakefulness of wide daylight
And bitter terror encompasses every living fiber
"If I sleep, where volition I hold upwards when I wake up?"
The compulsion to run, the paralysis of fear
Mature, child-like dependence
Retracing youthful development, precisely inwards rapid reverse
Cureless medicines, meaningless conversations
Leading upwards to the inevitable
