Slipping away

While she sleeps

And you watch

I’m aging

Faster with loneliness

And sadness

Missing so many dates

Of importance

Or just nights in

Bed

My days have begun

And ended

Alone

it shouldn’t

Be so…

Chest pains

Unstable stance

vision

And hearing is slipping

Being cared for isn’t

On the watch for me

As the watch only

Tick and tocks

One way…

When will this

Clock reset…
