Who Are You Again?

She says I am her sister,
I don't know her any more,
All my memories gone
They are melted on the floor.

This women calls me mum
But I don't recognise her face,
I think I've heard her voice before
But It just can't be placed.

This little girl calls me gran
Why does she love me so?
When I don't even now her name,
She hugs me, cries then goes.

This man calls me darling
And points to a golden ring,
I'm I really married?
I don't remember a thing.

This mirror shows a withered women,
I do not recognise,
I need to see a familiar face
But it just won't compromise.

My life is a puzzle
I don't have all the clues,
Please don't be offended
If tomorrow I don't know you.

It Began

It began quite suddenly. Just little things at first. She'd forget birthdays. Or what she was about to say. The words to a song. Or how to make a sponge. She left doors open. Thinking they were shut.
