WHO AM I

BY: Noel N. Villarosa

12 August 2013

Once a sharp memory

Suddenly becomes empty

Flip through photo albums and open my mind

For those moments, I thought would bind

As I rub my eyes, I rub the time that pass

Staring long, picture’s story hard to amass

Memory is lost and wandered far away

Would you care to sit beside and remind me of the day?

I am very different now

Strangers all over again, only smile I could allow

Am I safer in truth or in lies that hide my being?

Perhaps in your asking, I would be wondering

I can feel the fading away of my ability

Trying to hold on to every piece of mobility

A vanishing world where shapes and shadows hide

Unimaginable, disoriented, and passive views of the slide

I may look aimless, as I open my eyes

Forgive my teary eyes, just a fix to rely

In still remembering you for a moment

Do not be weary of my asking, I am more than a friend
