He Asks Me


He Asks Me

He asks me
again and again
used to be irritating
can be now though
I know why

He can’t remember
anything new as he
describes it so he asks
me again and again
I know why

Yet I can’t truly understand
give thanks for my memory
that I took for granted
I’m not irritated now
I know why

I want to wrap him up 
in a big ball of memory
I want it all to come to 
him who is lost in seconds
Why oh why

He asks me

  1. 0h, this has to be hard, Willow. We really DO need to give thanks for our memories while we have them. How difficult to be continually asked.
