When Day Ends and Night Begins
Another collection of thoughts from carers of patients of dementia - not just what was said but what was picked up from the unsaid
When day ends and night beginsAnd sleep is not in viewWhen you pace the floorUntil morning comesTo start the day anewWhen anxiety washes over youAnd your mind it never stillsNo matter what, I love youAnd I know I always willI will be your blanketA comforter to holdI'll wrap you in nostalgic warmth From those familiar days of oldFor both of us remember themAlthough sometimes we may forgetThat no matter what, the sun will riseAnd still, the sun will setTo me you're the same personWho can never truly hideFor part of you is visibleAlbeit trapped inside. I put you on a pedestal And then it made me frown To find that you made mistakesAnd I had to take you down But you have no recollectionOf the hurt, that's plain to seeAnd in truth, this holding onIs only hurting meSo I chose to forgive youAnd I chose to let it goI chose it for the both of usOnly one, will ever knowFor love conquers all emotionsAnd it opens every doorAnd it brings us light in darkness When there are no words anymore.
