Memory

Looking into the mirror,
My body lets out a shiver,
The person I see,
Doesn't look like me,

Wrinkles on my face,
Smooth skin replaced,
My skins looking old,
Skin has started to fold,

I'm not the person in the reflection,
I was far from perfection,
But this person had aged,
No sparkle eyes disengaged,

Around the mirror there were pictures,
Held up around the fixtures,
Tattered around the edges,
Framing the mirror with picture hedges,

Taking a closer look I inspect,
Looking at the woman subject,
Hazy memories flood back,
Sending my brain to attack,

The girl in the picture is me,
Of which I have no memory,
For that's who I am today,
Not the reflection of the lady of grey,

The aged pictures in sepia,
Must be propaganda media,
They remind me of what I used to be,
For I have lost all memory.

Very sad. 😔💚

@eddie12309 this was inspired by an old neighbour I had, she had severe memory loss and would wake up everyday thinking she was younger than she really was, so very very sad :( thank you for the rp honey :) x

@Irrational_Kimmi thanks for the repost hun :)

That makes it even more poignant 💚

@eddie12309 I suppose it does. Before she became ill she was such a lovely lady! Apparently her memory only extended to her early 20's. Must be so terribly traumatic to wake up and see something completely different staring back at you than what you expect. X
