I feel you handle me
And I’m not sure I like it
There is nothing I can do
So I’ll try not to fight it
Handle me in warmth and caring
I’ll love you more if you stop staring
At me
With that look
Like you don’t know who I am
Its me you fool, I’m still inside
Look closer, deeper, see my pride
It’s the thing in me that wants to keep fighting
It gets harder each day
To remind you, I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
Why am I biting
At you
With my words
Cutting you when I know that it hurts
It’s not my intent to be so mean
Be patient, it will pass without a big scene
Placate me, hold me but don’t stand and stare
Don’t walk away and say it’s not fair
It’s still me under this veil
An Alzheimer’s shell
I’ll find my way out
But not on this side
So search me out, at the end of the ride
Until then…
Handle me gently
With love and with care
To lose you sooner I could not bear
