Blind Memories Poem by April Humason

Disease has ravaged my thoughts, quarantined,
Shattering my mind, the pain unseen,
Where time's outline fades, memories blind,
Lost in this haze, no cure can I find.

Uncertain tomorrows, life's detour unknown,
Reflections tainted, purity overthrown,
In this lonely state, the cost I bear,
Exhausting reality, tossed into despair.

Life takes on a new mold, a mildew grows,
The person I was, now expired, it shows,
A rage within me, viewing love unglued,
Happiness quarantined, the pain renewed.

As my mind fragments, scattered and frayed,
Decades of memories, once aligned, now decayed,
Photographs of the past, a painful tease,
Remind me of the disease that grips and won't release.

Yet, I'll endure, with strength, I'll persevere,
Seeking light within darkness, the path unclear,
For within the shadows, a glimmer remains,
Blind memories, they'll whisper, and love sustains.
