This piece has little to do with my own relationship, rather it's inspired
seeing another one which is nearing it's end.
Not Yet ...
by Jack C Lipton
Who am I now?
I still stand, Alone- and yet not.
Married, together, yes, but parted.
Providing care, providing service.
She knows not who I am, from day to day.
She knows not her children nor siblings.
She knows not her years.
I remember for me.
I remember when she still WAS.
I remember for her-
When she cannot.
Who am I with her?
Who am I without her?
My heart only knows her name-
Alone.
--------------------------------
This is about Alzheimer's disease; I've watched my in-laws.
I got into a depressive spiral and this came out.
