Mirrors of Memories

I know I am suppose to call my daughter I know things have been slipping my mind I know I hate this feeling I know this is the best I am going to be I know I have Alzheimer's I know I am in my house I know my phone is on my dresser I know it's next to our family picture I know every smiling face I know that will fade over time I know that's me in the mirror I know as I stare into my own eyes I know... everything has changed I know I will become a burden to my family I know feeling sorry for myself doesn't help I know a river of tears won't wash this away I know there is nothing that will change the outcome I know I won't know when I don't know I know as I pick up my phone I know I am suppose to call, I am suppose to call...
