A narrative poem about the love between a nurse and her patient with dementia.
In the twilight's embrace, a tale unfolds,
Of love entwined with memories untold.
A nurse's heart, compassionate and kind,
A patient lost in the corridors of his mind.

Within sterile walls, their destinies collide,
A fragile connection, where souls confide.
She tends to wounds, both seen and unseen,
While he yearns for fragments of what once had been.

In the labyrinth of his fading thoughts,
She weaves a tapestry of love, time fraught.
His mind, a vast ocean, waves crashing ashore,
Yet memories slip through his grasp, forevermore.

Through whispered words and gentle touch,
She seeks to rekindle love's forgotten clutch.
Their dance, a bittersweet waltz in the gloom,
As shadows of remembrance begin to bloom.

She reads him stories of their cherished past,
Of stolen kisses and moments that won't last.
Her voice, a lifeline in the abyss of his mind,
Guiding him back to a world left behind.

But as twilight deepens, so does the sorrow,
For his grasp on reality fades by tomorrow.
She holds his hand, tears tracing her face,
Torn between hope and the impending embrace.

In the stillness of night, his memories fade,
Leaving emptiness where love once stayed.
She stays by his side, a faithful sentinel,
Guarding his heart, though it's lost in the swell.

For love, resilient, endures through the night,
In the depths of darkness, it finds its light.
Though his mind may falter, their bond remains strong,
A nurse's love, undying, forever lifelong.

In the hushed corridors, their story unfolds,
Of love's endurance, as time erodes.
The nurse's devotion, a beacon of grace,
Guiding him through the labyrinth of his trace.

Shadows of remembrance, a love that persists,
In the depths of his soul, where love subsists.
Through the haze of dementia, their spirits entwine,
A testament to love's power, eternally divine.
