Disappearing, a poem

You are right here in front of me.
But you are disappearing;
You call it living in a fog,
I cannot stop my eyes from tearing.

At first it was just little things....
But soon so much anger, so much blame;
All our memories gone into the blur,
Just fear and uncertainty remain.

I watch you slowly slip away,
Try so hard to pull you back,
But you are slipping away day by day,
And I just want you back.

So I'll keep you close and hold you tight,
Until that awful day,
When you can no longer remember me,
And we both just fade away...
