Separating Truth Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Separating Truth



Effects of Alzheimer's clouding minds, erasing memories and
at times, replacing them with false ones.

Forgetting being married and chasing other women with a
vengeance, wife at home, wondering where her life has gone
and what will become of her.

Husband blissfully dancing around the floor with other
women, thinking he's still young and single.

What a tragedy Alzheimer's has wrought, tearing years of
love apart, separating it from the truth of marriage
forever.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This is what happened to a friend of ours when her husband got Alzheimers.
It's a horrible heart-rending illness that tears apart the spouse and
family.
