Up and Down

Love you, Nans x

Every hour's a different level of awake and aware

of surroundings and people, and care

for you that we have and give

is not always heard or understood

but we will continue our level of love

and support even when we feel insane

inane

inanimate in your life, temporarily

we see the struggle of still going

going strong, going weak

unable to meet eyes or speak

and then back for Round X

as sight comes again to the eyes that never closed

fully, engrossed

in Mr Bean now, head down to the screen

Inside us all, or at least me, you'd hear a scream

of don't get your hopes up

it might not be what it seems

and off you drift again
