She was lying in her bed
with visions of yesterday in her head.
she doesn't know from one day to another.
Lost in her forevers.
Faces all around her that are unrecognizable.
Her body is not stable.
She fidgets with her covers,
And tries to look under.
A little girl, with a woman's body, aging.
She is scared so she starts to sing.
Her dementia has turned for the worst.
All she does is hurt
Starvation and thirst.
it's been 10 days
No food or liquids will stay.
She stopped putting everything inside her stomach.
She is very sick.
All she wants to do is sleep.
She is so weak.
She is my auntie Gail, 84 years old.
She just passed away, yesterday I was told.
Got the call from my brother
And now my aunt can finally be in heaven with my mother.
R.I.P. Auntie Gail
