Attic Angel

November 11, 2008

Empty eyes
Not so empty heart
Full still
While the mind
Goes empty
Slowly
Painfully
Eventually
Fading

A slow smile
Timid, unsure
A small gift
To the one
Once called yours

If you don’t know me
Don’t be afraid
I’ll always know you
Because you’re my
Attic angel

My grandmother who has Alzheimer’s disease inspired this piece, because only the pain of seing her gone could help me write this.
