The cupboard is filled
China dogs, porcelain cats
Dried floral bouquets
She’s collected memories
That mean nothing to her now

Behind the façade
Thoughts scatter like pick up sticks
Behind the façade
Voices asking me questions
That I’m answering out loud
Behind the façade
Is where I’m living today
Not completely there
Conversations can’t reach me
Behind the façade
I know you cannot see me
And I don’t know you, do I?

She is not aware
Days and months go crawling by
To her, it’s a blur
But sometimes, she knows her name
But only for the moment
