it was a betrayal
of the worst kind
where all the struggles
take place in the mind
erasing the traces
of so many faces
while time marches on
without any song
except for a mumuring heart
beating slowly along
with rhyme or reason
no longer appreciating
the changes of seasons
because all are the same
when each day is done
casting off the days
spent under the sun
left and betrayed
running out of time
recognizing the sounds
of silence in the mind
as alzheimers settles in
taking complete control
leaving a shell
containing a soul

the answer is difficult to see...!
alzheimers can be seen as the ultimate betrayal - excellent writing.
Oh, well done in describing alzheimer's as a betrayal!
lovely words.
enjoyed the word flow.
and rhyming.
A nice poem about a sad topic, Magie.
I was thinking dementia of some sorts would settle this. Alzheimer's is the worst kind.
I too liked your rhymne. :)

Very thoughtfully written and lovely.
