Disappearing Me

Inspired by friends at my alz team

Also by my good blogging friend at By The Side of the Road

Disappearing you, disappearing friends,
Disappearing of beginnings, lots of new ends,
The person that I loved is disappearing too
Here in body, already missing you.
Disappearing kinship, disappearing me,
Does anybody miss me, does anybody see?

Lost in the woods in the caring after you;
I remember when our love was ever so true,
Now I look at you and you’re looking through me,
I wonder who it is you think that you can see.
There are no guide posts, I fear I’ve gone astray,
Lost in the woods alone and left to pray.

Cold and lonely every single night,
Though you are lying there just to my right,
You never talk to me, not any more,
I wonder what the future has in store.
You keep me so busy I’m no longer free.
Say hello to the disappearing me.

Lost in the woods where there isn’t any path;
Sometimes it’s good, I escape from your wrath.
The way things are going, I’m missing out on life,
Filled with anxiety, my worries are rife.
Restless and tired, I’m buzzing like a bee,
I’m lost in the woods, I’m disappearing me.

Yes I’m lost in the woods, no signpost to see,
There’s no one to help, no one to hear my plea.
Everyone’s abandoned my sinking ship,
I want to curl up and give life the slip.
No one comes with a helping hand for me,
Pity poor old disappearing me.

My love is disappearing, he’s nearly half gone,
I wish I had a fairy’s magic wand,
I’d wave it all around till life would rock,
I’d vanish all these troubles, I’d stop the clock,
I’d turn back the time and turn back this tide
Back to our time with love a magic ride.

Pity me oh doctor, pity me now,
Please make me a remedy, tell me how
Do I fix this love that’s gone so awry,
Tell me who this stranger is, who is this guy
Who’s replaced my man who doesn’t know me–
And how do I fix this disappearing me?
