Faded Photograph
Mortal coil winding down
weary eyes without recollection
dying face
lost in the
fathomless catacomb
of his collapsing mind
constructing consciousness
in tattered shreds of thought
coherency lost in a puzzle
with no solution
with each passing moment
another piece disintegrates
information corruption
weaving broken strands
confusion and fear
suspicion of plots out of grasp
trapped in the present
glad that you're here
wishes you would stay
sad to see you leave
doesn't know you came
worse than intellect inexpressible
is intellect broken down
his mind is going and he can feel it
yet in his eyes
in his meaningless words
I can feel peace
